Replacing side tubes with steps

Hi everyone. We've had our D4 about a month and we'd like to change the factory fitted chrome side tubes for side steps. We have three children under eight and side steps would help them get into the car easier. As I see it the fitting of steps is fairly straightforward but it looks like the cut outs in the plastic sills are different for tubes as opposed to steps. Would anyone be able to confirm this. If that is the case does anyone have any for sale or know where the best place is to buy them. I have been advised that they are over £100 each from main dealers. Alternatively, does anyone have good condition side steps and plastic sills for sale.

Genuine LR sidesteps are about £500 a side (+VAT)!
You can get reasonable aftermarket ones for £200-£300 a pair - try Paddock Spares or John Craddock.

Cheers. Thanks for the quick response. I have seen the steps with these suppliers and they look fine. It's just the plastic sills which are causing me a bit of a headache. I just want to avoid cutting additional holes in existing sills but also want to avoid shelling out for new from main dealer.

Can't help there I'm afraid. Only thing I'd say is avoid main dealers if you possibly can - they don't call them stealers for nothing!
