Ive asked the seller if they also do turbo sills.. as the pocket is different 

Unless they are going to charge a little less because of needing less material on a turbo version why not just cut the n/a ones down and wrap the end over. I don't think you would be able to have the turbo pocket section covered all in one along with the main sill? You would have to have a separate piece with the existing join between the two panels still in place. This would also be harder to make and fit due to the extra depth of the storage pocket.

I quite like those! So did you get n/a ones and just trim and fold over the edges to suit? Do you just glue the leather into the triangle indentations so they show through or is that pattern actually replicated on the leather?

These look much better than I thought. Can you request different colours of stich as I would like gold though could get away with orange. The issue of having a strange coloured VX!

Yup they do look pretty good actually. I expected them to look a bit baggy and loose, but they almost look like they were meant to be leather rather than plastic. Seems a very cost effective solution.

 

Teamed with a re-trimmed interior with matching stitching etc they'd look even better...

Hmm, black stitching seems like a nice neutral choice....

That looks far better than I imagined it would.

 

Will have to have a gander at the next Essex meet as I was thinking of going for the cf ones but these looks equally as good and should resist little scratch marks from getting in/out.
