Scotland 2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Aruba

My side steps on my Disco 2 would collect the roadsh1t like it was going out of fashion.
I nearly fitted side steps to the Tonga Green beastie, but decided it would only be needed for washing the roof centre. Cheap skate option is to drop the car and use my height to do it standing on the ground, so I have passed this time on them.

Specman I find a set of 3 step aluminium ladders works well when roof cleaning, they get hidden in the garage after washing done and I don't have extra weight to lug around on the sides of the car! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Sounds like you need retractible steps Scarey, they look the mutts nuts but are rather expensive.
Parts alone with control box are about 1500 pounds I think. Shocked

Normal side steps don't do anything for me, but the protection bars look good.


cant justify £1500 on steps but i do like the bar type , trouble is they aint no good for stepping on as your foot will slip off..side steps are practical and i agree with you FOX ,they dont look good .. ... - .- -.

I have seen a version of the chromed side protection tube that you talk about that has a flattened step area but IIRC they are for Disco2's not L322's................................ they also look weird with a balck rubbered tread on the flat area. It is a company called something like Sidestep.co.uk that sells them.

Edit - yes here is the company http://www.sidestepsuk.com/?gclid=CJbl8KW2tqQCFU414wodqi7d0A
and the step above looks like it's for the RRSport http://www.sidestepsuk.com/popup.php?ID=23 the steps appear to be additional to the tubes so you might be able to get them fitted onto a set of L322 tubes for more ££££'s 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I like the steps. It's cheaper than a years supply of broken tights and skirts and as Paul H said, the little one can climb into the car on her own. Paul
