I got the sidesteps from Ebay I meant to put in my OP non OEM LOL, sorry about that!
The sidesteps are not OEM they were the cheapest ones i could find on Ebay since they were all exactly the same, the only difference being sellers profit margins!

I had trouble with a couple of the outriggers not being welded correctly but overcome that with some tweaking:

How the outrigger should look:



One of the troublesome outriggers:




This wasn't the end of the 'Weld' and can be easily overcome with a bit of brute force and a couple of washers.

I can't fault the actual steps they look great and you can't go wrong for that price, plus I mentioned the issue to the company that sold me the steps and they gave me a 20% refund.

Thanks Siôn, I am getting the front and side grills done next, then some disco 4 rear lights, followed up by colour coded wheel arch trims.

How much have you done to yours out of curiosity?

So far, just done the front grill. Bought a load space liner, 3rd row matt and new wipers all round and was skint Confused . My list looks very much like yours. Side grill to get. I'm on the list for de-tangoed lights to be done by Disco Mikey (I'm not brave enough to do it myself) and some D4 rears. Side steps next though as soon as I come back from my holidays in a couple of weeks.

I have the rubber boot liner and rubber mats throughout, they are defiantly worth the money.
You got a great looking Landrover there Siôn and you should just bite the bullet and do the lights yourself, its really not that hard to do , just take your time.

The shop system uses a different account (it does say this in a big box above log in).

Use express checkout button to short-cut the login process Smile
