can't make my mind up on wether or not i like these what are peoples opinions on these chrome side bars

the nifty selling point is that when parking in tight spaces the bars would get dinked rather than your door and paintwork

Sorry it's a no from me & my wife's VW Polo's doors open above my side steps - offering no protection against careless that find themselves for some reason parking next to my Sport which I park far far away from anywhere or anyone  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

My opinion is just keep the side-steps they look like a big sandwich under the car

It's a no for me.like Peachy said the steps don't always help other car doors ,had them on my last RRS and had a door opened on to it.

Not too keen on them, makes the car look abit cheap making a point to add extras on for the sake of it, but down to personal choice  RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED

yes i do agree one part of me likes the fact it does make the car look a tad lower but the other half of me agrees it is rather chavy, i need to address why the access mode isn't working (car just raises back up) and once thats sorted when its parked at least it won't look sky high with huge gaps in the wheel arches

If it rises back up when trying to put it in access modes it could be one of your height sensors, does this happen all the time or when parked at a certain angle? RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED

They look chavvy and won't have any effect at all on people opening their doors in to yours in car parks. Indeed, some might do it just to have a go at "the idiot chav" in the next bay! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

You should get in touch with Bodsy on this forum, hes the man for diagnostics

I would check on your 4 x 4 screen to see if any of the corner sensors are flashing red which would indicate you may have a ride height sensor at fault, try checking on all access, normal and off road mode. RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED
