Default Sill repair panels

Anyone know where I can get some 1997 XJR sills, or sill repair panels? (Apart from Main Dealer, £220 per side....)

Seem to be struggling to find any, surely someone supplies them?

Cheers, Rich.

Mike's a great guy to deal with, I've bought one from him, it's tucked away for 'Project R Coupe'....
