what to do with brick window sills when weatherboarding over brick

I am looking to clad the front of my house (currently brick) with Hardie Plank weatherboards. My only issue is that I have 3 windows each with brick sills protruding from the wall. I'm trying to work out the best way to do it cleanly? from what I can gather my options would be to either:

1. cut up a weatherboard plank and cover each face of the sill and then put some type of corner strip over the joins.

2. remove the bricks that make up the sill and find a flush replacement. I don't know what this could be?

3. try to cut the sill bricks flush somehow however I am sure they protrude for a reason so maybe not a good idea?


If anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated.
