Three M12 fixings per tube, they should also come with the brackets that mount underneath the sill trims

Ask 'em for the LR part number, I seriously doubt these are genuine LR items
LR side protection bars are VTD500010 or VTD500020

FACT - IF you could read you'll see I was pointing to the chrome ones on ebay which it turns out had the wrong pic to their description which were the cause of the whole thread.

FACT - the confusion has already been clarified and answered.

FACT - you may note I was not arrogant enough to use the word FACT or try and pretend I knew answer, hence i used the words i did merely to provide clarification to an issue. Arrogance can leave you looking a total to$$er. Rolling Eyes

FACT - you have proven the previous point. Twisted Evil

I trust the language in the message is presented in a clear and concise manner that you understand. Very Happy

Disclaimer: I apologise to all other members for the excessive use of the word FACT it is in FACT not my normal way of imparting FACTs however in this case it is a FACT that it was necessary to point out certain FACTs to certain individuals.
