I know they are expensive, but the version of the CT that I bought is a non luxury type. No leather seats, no mouse control, 6 speaker audio. I wanted to give it a little bit of flair, so I opted for LED headlights, a bamboo strip and the lighted door sills. These are the only type I can get from the official dealer over here. They look soooo good though in real life, I am happy with them.

Here in The Netherlands, it's around 175 Euro at the Lexus dealer, so 200 pounds seems a bit high

These were pretty expensive, around 900 Euro which includes labor. That is only for the front. In an original Toyota part catalog I see that they are listed for 649 Euro. Maybe Lexus USA thought that these are to expensive and had a cheaper version made for the American market? I read a review of the cheaper version, were the say that the illumination was uneven and it didn't look as good as door sills of other Lexusses. I just can talk about the ones I have, they really look fantastic and high class. I'll try to make a better image and post it.

I just remembered that I still have the box of my door sills. I ordered them when I ordered the car, when I took delivery 6 months later, they put the old ones in here. These are made in Japan.

The look different than the ones my Lexus dealer installed, and different than the ones oat the Lexus UK site. Maybe there are different versions of the door-sills, or the US dealer is selling non-official parts. I don't know, I just see the difference. Without more knowledge we can't say that Lexus UK is ripping you off. Here in the Netherlands the door-sills are expensive as well.

The bamboo strip looks really nice in my car. Don't know the part number, I had it installed by the dealer when I took delivery of the car.

I think that these are fakes. They don't look as nice and stylish as the original Lexus door-sills that my Lexus dealer installed.
