Would be interested in your opinion. Purely for asethetic reasons!
Thinking of Sidesteps
OR
Black Protection Tubes
OR
Chrome Protection Tubes

Protection Tubes if you must. Black will probably take less maintenance & if you go get a bash when off road, you can always just spray them black again.... Bodsys Brake Bible

Tubes but don't expect them to stay pretty. Mine just go on for offroading & are pretty mangled but they do the job!
I went for the sidesteps as Nick rightly pointed out that if it was raining and Mrs Googsy was in her new frock she would slip one the tubes so life for me would be easier with the sidesteps!
