Tell swmbo that they protect the sills when venturing off road (or kerbs in Tesco car parks)...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Nearly snap, mines identical but with the side steps.
Was going to remove them, but not doing much off road stuff and nothing serious so couldn;t be bothered and they have grown on me that seeing one without makes them look half dressed. Think the 20 inch wheels with sidesteps is the best looking comboD4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Kitchenmickey, ok sold, they do look good I really didn't want to spend money just yet, anyone recommend where I can get some with attracting stealer prices?
Oh and since when have diesels been so uneconomical.. 24.5mpg over 300miles
It gets worse ,the mpg indicator isnt accurate ,the only way is to fill it up and check the mileage .I used to be bothered about mpg ,cant bear to check it now
Oh great I was hoping for once in my driving career that I was going to be able to look at the mpg and be pleasantly surprised, guess some things never change!

33.4mpg on a long run. Less than 1k miles under the belt, so engine still tight.

Lagoo - TBH when it's driven "Like Miss Daisy", I can get around 33 or 34 mpg too. But real world it's more like 28mpg. When I say real world, I mean that it's a mixture of gentle around town but then being more "Progressive" in the lanes etc. I didn't buy it for it's fuel economy though Mines done about 1200 miles so far. loving it My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

Shagoo you tart, next you'll be painting your bloody brake calipers.....
Can you order a set and then, when you inevitably ask for my help to fit them, we can see what they'd look like on mine first
Still not 100% convinced...
Oh, and even if you had a Prius you'd be averaging sub 20mpg with your leaden foot
