au contraire mr Marky. there are 2 types or sill, standard 4 1/2 inch as fitted at the factory and 6 inch for fitting once you have made a mess of drilling out the original spotwelds and have a nice bit of inner sill to weld too.
the 3rd variation is the 9 inch oversill i not saying you still have your original sills still rotting away underneath but oversills were only ment as a quick fix to get another few years out of a mini. the vents are sealed so there is no air flow to dry any moisture and no drain if any water gets in, so there not the best for longevity.
here is some backup seeing as you dont belive me

can see the open vents were they should be
