Just curious what folks think of these:

Looked kinda interesting to me as a way to modernize the cabin just a bit.

i do like these - can anyone post pictures of the ones they got at stoneleigh installed?

I took some door sill measurements today and the ideal size for somethign like this would be 2.5 inches by about 35 - 36 inches. The second one I posted is very small. 1.5 inches by 19 inches. Clearly, this is a standard piece (with the Lotus logo on it) for 4 door cars which have smaller sills. The first one is closer in size at 2 x 24. That seller also has one that is 3 x 36. Great length but too wide. Still, the 2x24 piece would probbaly look nice.

Ordered and have now received the 2 x 24 versions. i will install shortly and take pics for all to see. They do look quite nice out of the box anyway.

Door sill bling now installed as per the pics. The tape it came with was crap but some very sticky, thin carpet tape worked wonders. I think they look quite nice and fairly "stock".

Nice.

I take it they fit the S2 no problem?

If so does anyone want to order some and i will go halfs on the Delivery?

Or better still what about a group buy?

If they can be had for ~$40 inc del (as per ebay ads) then count me in.

I suggest that, if you're looking to do a group buy, you might want to contact the seller directly and see if he'll also offer up a discount if you get enough people together.

Worth a try.
