Thinking about changing my steps for tube like these, will the cut outs on the plastic trim underneath be different?
Let us know how you get on fitting them

You are clearly a man of taste
If they are the same as mine,and they do look like it,there should be no cutting of sills.... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Euan. It's all your fault and you know it
I tried the blackening of my steps but still prefer the tube look

Glad I'm costing you money....plenty on here have cost me over the last 3 years
They should be adjustable for stickey-outness......I set mine just within the tyre-line so I know where they are when manoeuvring
Ps you know they don't fit with OEM mudflaps ?"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I went for those Bearmach ones too after some info from Euan. They've really helped the kids and missus getting in and out and, more importantly, they look great too!Previously owned an '08 D3 HSE in Stornoway grey but jumped ship to see what the Swedes have to offer.

That shouldn't be a problem...
I removed my mudflaps altogether and flogged them

Hi Euan
I like the look of these. I had the LR steps on my old D3 and they were pretty substantial and good for standing in when loading the roofbox. How do these compare for sturdiness?
