Has anybody purchased these sidesteps below? I'm wondering if they are of decent quality as they are 'LR equivalents' or should I stay clear?
Any comments much appreciated

I bought sidesteps from these guys. They also fitted them and did a great job.
I'd highly recommend them. Also brought the mud flaps f & b for £40 and colour coded door handles for the new sd4.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna get some FL2 07 HSE Zermatt Silver

I bought a set and fitted them without any problems. They are good quality and appear identical to LR steps.

Apparently Landrover steps are on backorder - perhaps this guy has them all lol.... (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

I'm just about to order these steps discussed above, only bit I'm not too sure about the fitting is the insertion of the metal rivet type fittings. I know they are not rivets as such, but I have heard they can be difficult to insert even with the correct tool.

Has anyone had any problems fitting them?

thanks

easy enough to fit using two spanners.

Its basically a large alloy pop rivet which threaded inside as you insert it the rivnut tool is tightened then squeezed together as per a pop rivet . They aren't particularly hard dependant on your strength.

I think Chickne George (sorry George if its not you !) came up with another version using spanners etc., so trying searching through the posts. I was fortunate enough to know someone that had one so dont be put off have a go ! 2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys
