yes it is only about the aluminium plate here, you will have to drill/use rivets to set it or a kind of a "multipurpose adhesive and joint sealant" to glue the alu plate on the plastic door sill.

We know, the 4th gen original font (
this one) is too thin to be carried out by the laser cutting machine. After a poll, this font was selected because it was "close" to 4/5th gen fonts and feasible for the laser cutting machine.

The sills are "raw" in order to let people decide whether they keep it that way or maybe they want to polish them with Belgom. You can have them anodised but this is not the goal of our GB

I have mine since 3 years now and if you do not use the sills as "mud scrapper" as you climb in your car, you won't have so much dirt problems
Please remember that we are proposing a simple product, made to cover plastic door sills, not to replace true-OEM-overpriced-Honda-door-sills

A confident pitch in the den has left the dragons mostly impressed, although one of the potential millionaire backers seems confused.
"Hi Julien, I'm Peter."
"Hi Peter."
"Um, it all looks very nice, but there's one thing that bothers me.

Would it not have been easier and cheaper to have them etched?"

I had to google that picture to understand the reference, we don't have dragons den in France !
I have absolutely no idea of the price to have them etched, therefore no idea if the difference would have been in positive or negative on the proposed price.
The product would have been totally different... We probably would not have been able to see through, great way not to see the dirt, by the way

It's too close to Christmas for me I'm afraid. If you do this again next year I'd likely be interested!

Shipping costs to UK are about 10€ more than in France, so it would be about 40€ = £32 for you, shipping costs included, let me know what do you want to do
