Possibly. I quite like the triangle indents in the molding so that rules out scottybobs for me

Am I right in thinking some lotus' have padded sills? Nicer for the elbow when getting out.
Another idea would be sills that slope slightly to the outside edge so those ever-present window leaks drain OUT of the car!
