Vario Panniers Wanted

I think I have a vario pannier mountings on my bike, but no panniers were supplied with the bike. :angry:

I would quite like an alluminum set but they seem to be gold dust for the 800s, plenty around for the 1200s.

Any one have any? or do 1200 vario panniers fit the 800s?

Cheers
