I don't blame gm for making cheap parts for a car they wish never existed

They look like they have a slightly rubberised sort of plastidip finish to them. Are they as hard a plastic as the originals?

You should have taken a mould from it for the inevitable CF project to follow!

Thats pants. They know very well it's nearly always just the drivers side that has gone and you would have to order two to match, not to mention £120 for something cheap looking like that.
Tell you what I asked for a quote from autovaux on the stainless steel sill covers that go on the outer sill. They were something like the same price (can't remember exactly). What a ripoff - £240 (+vat!) for a couple of pieces of metal plate with a bit of etching on them!
Ridiculous!

Oh BTW - I fancied a red soft top instead of black. Have a guess how much for a new one from autovaux?

That seems almost reasonable for a vx part... I think they've forgotten to add the vx supertax on top!
