Hi all. Sorry if this is "another sidestep thread" but would like to know if there's a big difference in quality between the genuine and copies. Also if someone could kindly point me in the right direction where I should purchase from would be much appreciated. Thanks Monster Unit

having been there recently, i went with the copies. zero difference aesthetically, big difference in price. got mine from super tweaks. the next question is if you want the pre-cut sills or cut yourself. i did the latter and found it was fine with the proper cutting tools  Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.

Thanks for the reply Luke. Yeah, could never justify paying so much more for genuine ones if they are pretty much identical.
Think I'll go for the pre cut sills as I'll prob make a mess of it lol. Monster Unit

it's a simple job to mount everything and IMHO makes a big difference to the look. super tweaks had it at my place within 24-hours, great service. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

I'm sure people on here have used PowerfulUK, yes.

You could save a few £'s, check out these guys, I believe Ady on here bought his from them and they are happy rto do pre-cut sills too and deal outside of eBay meaning you can save a few quid

Yes i got the ones in Bc's linky and they are as good as any genuine side steps imo. Those are now cheaper than what i paid too.

Thanks for the help guys. I will be in touch with them tomorrow to see if they can do pre cut sills for me.  Monster Unit

Just to add that I have the "powerful uk" ones with pre cut sills. Fitting was straight forward enough (apart from breaking one of the plastic fixing studs on the sills after transferring them over) and quality looks ok albeit only been on for 3 months

When fitting whichever ones you decide upon dont forget to set the ride height to highest for better access

Thanks for the input mate. I will keep that in mind when fitting them.  Monster Unit

I'm not into side steps, however I did see a Sport a while back with Chrome/Stainless side tubes fitted, the tubes would have been 65/75 mm.

These did look the part, looked fit for purpose looked like they belonged on a 4x4. I have seen similar products on a 3 door Freelander Mk1 a few years back

I left a note under the guys wiper asking for info on were he bought them, but never heard a thing  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
