Stainless Steel Side Tubes

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good make of 3" side tubes that will fit a 2006 S/C that already has front mud flaps. Don't fancy chopping into some perfectly good mud flaps. Seems to be tons of different sorts on flea-bay, just need ones with standard fitments.

Cheers,

Andy.

the mud flaps should not need cutting when fitting the side tubes V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

do the side tubes need removing if you need to use the jack (as with the side steps)? MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

Do the tubes serve a function or are they cosmetic only?

i have side tubes, if wearing non slip shoes they are ok to stand on, however never ever use with slippy shoes.

I had them on my TD6, they came from Powerful UK and were the correct 3" diameter.

They are purely cosmetic, too slippy to try and stand on and you'd ruin them anyway. Discovery 4 HSE
