I borrowed a sill cover from a lotus europa. I figured its just a vxt anyway so thought they may fit. Heres a few pics. Both parts would need cutting down a touch to fit but could be made to fit. They might be more appropriate to VXT's due to the two part make-up. I think they are around 40 quid for the big bit and 30 for the small bit. Just another option.

Awsome. Can you compare the width between the 2?

[FLD]

They are the same width. The difference in the big piece is that its deeper on the outside bit. Ths small bit is higher up the front so needs cutting down. I'd imagine the big piece ould fit staight up to the turbo front piece.

Um.... If I could only take mine off without the fear of breaking them.

The weight of my girlfriends ass could break them easily. Simply but carefully attempting to remove them should not pose any problems. Funnily enough, this evening I have ripped off the covering of my drivers seat, fitted a little more padding and spray glued the leather back in place. It takes 5 minutes if you are very slow. Just goes to show, a little care and commitment go a long way. Good luck, Paul PS I can post (DRESSED) photos to prove it!

I have turbo and NA sill covers currently off my car. Is there a measurement that you need?

I can't see how the Europa sill would fit to be honest. The Europa has lower sills than the rest of the exige/elise range to help getting in and out. You would be better trying a S2 elise/exige sill which is the same dimensions, albeit modifying the front bit where the dash meets maybe required still. http://www.deroure.c...&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0 Alternatively, repair any cracks in the sill with a fibrelass kit, and then take to your nearest Lotus Dealer - they will send to the Lotus trim shop to retrim the sill in any leather combination you want for £40 each(carbon leather looks great!). http://www.bellandco...rts/Exige_S2/(a)___Retrim_Sill_Cover_-_Leather/1336.htm

I looked at those and they are lower on the front so it wouldn't come right up to the dash. I have a picture of the europa one fitted to my car. I'll post it up later. The outer sill is lower hence the deeper outer lip. This would need trimming back to fit the VX (obviously). Besides its just an idea, thought it might help someone.

this is it dropped onto my sill. Obviously not cut up, its not mine!
