Door sill protector

I really really want to find nice and shiny door sill protectors. Original Volvo ones (there is always hope) or tailor-made stainless steel.
Any suggestions?

And if I can have them engraved it is even better :)

I wanted a pair of the GT ones, but advised it is impossible to get them off a scrap car in good enough condition to refit.
I have now bought a pair for one of the current Volvo models, cant remember which one. I went along to a main dealer and went all round the showroom looking at the different versions to choose some that are thin. Most are designed to be inset in a recess, so would probably foul the door. It remains to be seen if they can be fitted when the car goes into the body shop next month.

Hi Sylvia

Good to know. The search has only just started and I am sure there is a way :)
