I fitted the ones in your 1st link, and they look good. A vast improvement over the scratched sills, all for about 25 quid delivered.Previously:

Hi Tracey, I've got the 'cheaper' ones through a group buy on this site organised by Discowex via Ebay.
The engraving is quite shallow and doesn't stand out in the photos, but they do the job just fine....
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

Hi Tracey
I have a set of 'Tasmods'. They're not cheap (about £86 including postage) but they are top quality and contoured to fit the sill.
Like everything, you get what you pay for!

Hi
I went for Tasmods - excellent covers and better than OEM ones.
Ordered one day - delivered the next.
Didnt even consider the cheaper ebay ones.

Correct No I won't.
The cheaper sill cover does the practical job of covering the sills .....but the Tasmod sill covers are by far the better quality. I have never suggested otherwise. My legitimate gripe with Tasmod's selling methods on the site was that the site never benefited from those sales.

I agree with Dick above on ths.The cheaper sills do the job nicely.They are not as well enhraved as Tasmods , but are more a " stamp" rather than an engraving.I organised the group buy for the cheaper version as I'm a hound fora bargain with the bonus that the site gained a few quid into the deal.I also encouraged the sill manafacturer to contact Martin witha view to advertising on the site or at least providing a small kickback on each further sale attained through the site.Whether anything came of this I don't know.Either way I'm happy with what I paid for and haven't heard anything to the contrary from those that participated in the Group Buy either.
it's a free world , if you can afford either version then go for it , both versions will do exactly as they say which is protect your sill paintwork.Enjoy
