Just a heads up, I noticed a new supplier of quality looking sill repair panels on ebay.

Got chatting to the seller and suggested that to go the extra mile, it would be worth adding the jacking point diamond. A couple of days later he has messaged me to say he has added the jacking point diamond, and updated the listing to suit.

I have no affiliation with the seller, but to me, these look like a viable alternative to oe panels - I have not seen these panels in the flesh, but when I come to re-do my sills I will be giving these a try.

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/221887696569 for anyone interested :)

They do look like you could do a decent looking repair with them, a lot more elaborate than a other replacements I've seen. Don't forget to replicate the drain holes in the bottom edge if you use them though.

I thought the same about the lack of drain holes, but easilly added.

The seller was very quick to add the diamond after I suggested it, so he may also be able to add the drain slots.

Certainly look good to me anyway, and avoids fully unpicking the sill as you would when going oe.
