How easy is it to fit sidesteps and light protectors to my D3?
Do I need to butcher the bodywork?
Any guidance would be really useful

I am thinking about getting my bits from these guys

Are they any good - does anyone have any experience of dealing with them.

If you are not fitting genuine LR accessories, all the information you have been given above miht be innacurate
Stick to OEM and it will look 8) , if you go down the aftermarket route be prepared to be dissappointed when you see it fitted, as often the fit of stuff like this is not always as good as it should be I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Yeah, but it is a matter of cost really...
How much are the Landrover parts?

How to fit them is fairly arbitrary really - as I would get a tame techie to do it for me.

Give TLO a call and mention the forum to get the special discount he offers forum members and see how his prices compare, usually pretty favourably, and OEM accessories are much better come time to sell than aftermarket
