As my earlier post opened a debate on what looks best and practicalities, I've mocked up three options..

Naked:

Tube:

Photoshop was never a skill I mastered, but it gives you an idea. Thoughts? I like the naked look. Current MY2020

If you don't need steps then naked, I hate tubes

naked look is good..
lots of peeps have steps for the obvious reason and bars look ok but have no practical use... ... - .- -.

Naked works for me

I like the look of tubes and have them fitted on mine, but the steps are more practical for getting in and out. Reformed

Naked definitely

PS: I think thats pretty good shopping too

Deployable sidesteps is the way to go. Not sure they're available for the pre-2010 MY cars though.

Naked, personally I think tubes are really ugly and pointless. Steps aren't too bad and look best on black cars IMO, but looks wise they can sometimes make the car look dated.

Tubes are only any use if you intend to take the car were God and LR intended all Range Rovers to visit at least once in their lifespan............... and it ain't the scrappies either. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

naked by preference here too, but I have steps as they help me get in and the inlaws (I have hip replacement) cheers

I sometimes park on the grass, does this count?  Reformed

Naked, definitely, and without the flappies if possible

i was gonna get some steps but after reading this post ive decided to leave it naked as i think it looks better

So, it looks like most people like the look and feel of being naked. So a couple of questions:

1. If I remove the steps and front flap, I'll have to put new front flaps on, will these use or hide the holes left by removing the old.

and

2. Anyone want some OEM side steps? Current MY2020
