I like my Vario Panniers and have made some mods to them already
http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106665
Here is another cheap mod (£2 in total) which can prevent damage to the ally on the pannier in a spill as well as offering some extra visability.
In my local Poundland shop I came accross a pack of orange reflectors including 8 rectangular reflectors. These fit nicely on the top of the pannier and at the bottom of the pannier I fitted a bumper protection strip also sold in Poundland as a pair.
The Reflectors and Protection strip stand out from the panniers and should therefore help stop the pannier getting scratched or damaged in a minor spill or bike drop. Cheaper to replace a reflector/bumber strip than the ally on the pannier
I assume the refelctors/bumber strip would fit many other panniers as well.
