Evening all, I fitted some Shire Fabrications Sliders to SWMBO's Disco today and very pleased with them we are to!! Well made, good finish for the price and most importantly they all line up and fit a treat. Thumbs Up

Do these sliders stick out enough to protect the doors from carpark dints?

Get them fitted Very Happy !! I would say if you didn't have to take off genuine side steps and the two screws in the rear wheel arch play ball you could do the whole job in 2 hours, with a brew stop and some admiring!! I had to cut new heads in the screws in the wheel arch and drill out old mounting bolts!! Took about 4 hours!!! Confused But very happy with the results. It may also be worth getting 10 X 30mm stainless penny washers to go along the top of the sill as the mounting holes are slightly oval to allow ease of fitting and the washers that come with the sliders don't fully cover the whole up Thumbs Up

Yeh, that's why they aren't on. I had bother with said bolts, cut the old steps off and left partial brackets on lol, need to get my finger out and get them done.

You can see what's left of my brackets here Rolling with laughter

Am looking at getting a set of these as soon as the missus parts with our baby (this weekend Mr. Green ). There will be a set of steps up for grabs and these will be fitted in their place

Do these retain the original door seal ... and does it still actually seal?

There is an inner and out seal. The inner one is the key one, the outer one just stops most of the muck. Have a look in the door frame after being off road and you'll see what I mean. There's loads of Censored collected in there.
