Yes you have to cut the plastics,I fitted aftermarket ones.You can either mark where the bracket goes & take the off to cut or do as I did & put the steps up to the plastics & it gives you a good idea where to cut & cut the plastic in situ but watch you don’t cut through the fuel pipes behind the plastics.

Thanks for that I think I will cut out in place as well. The rear seems to fall in line with the jack mount , perhaps I am wrong need another look. What did you use to cut ? I have a dremel which I can fit a cutting tool on wonder if that will do ? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Guys my boards are on and I am well pleased with the quality and fit. I did things slightly different and will describe as this may help others.

Glad you got them sorted,I also took the steel plate off mine by drilling the rivets out & had them painted black to match the car.
