Might get some and put them on and see what it looks like because you can't tell really from a photo. I looked at bodys gallery at his black vent and it looked ok, but it looks even better when the landys in front of your eyes. Mrs lad says they are orange for a reason, but the smoked ones come with orange bulbs!!!!!! We shall see.!!!!! Thinking of fitting side sides too.... to stop cars hitting the door with their doors in car parks, got 2 dings already so SOD EM hit your doors against the side steps. Just thinking whether to get new ones or second hand.

I got the steps but still does'nt stop some car park dings. I found that the combination a side steps and leaving the D3 in off road height stops them , their doors just whack the steps

Aye I Agree!!!! Ive measured some steps, from the ground to the steps its 10 inches when the landy is in access mode! So anything higher than this will be good, especially if I can find out how to raise the landy right up into extended mode Still not been able to do this without faffing about with axle stands under the landy!! Still unsure whether to fit steps because when I had a range rover my mate had some fitted to his and getting in was no problem but you do notice them when getting out.

I can see why you are in the naughty corner You must own the naughty corner with comments like that
The other thing is the steps may be in the way when mrs lad is putting master lad in his child seat. The steps might not be long enough for mrs lad to stand on while putting him in. Might have another trip to the dealer because i know they had one for sale last week with them fitted, just to check before buying any!!!
