England 

If it's the two plastic panels through the middle of the doors, held on with nothing more than 3m tape, hair dryer, fishing line, Wd40 for the residue that stays on the door, elbow grease and polish of choice.

I changed from the Land Rover side steps to Prospeed sliders. Best of both worlds in protection and OME look with their infills fitted.

Very very easy to fit, and no problem with kids jumping on them, you can jack the vehicle up from them, but they ain't cheap.

Big mistake taking the rubbing strips off IMHO they are an expensive and desirable extra, but take them off without bending and they will sell, choose a nice hot day and use woven type fishing line Thumbs Up
