My wife had those side mouldings on her first ( 53 plate ) Jazz, they do nothing to stop dings as they are too low down, the doors of other vehicles ( I'm looking at you SUV and 4x4 drivers and passengers ) and even normal height cars hit much higher up. They are a fashion accessory and do nothing to protect the doors. They may keep a small amount of dirt off door just above them, do not waste your money unless you just want 'the look'.
