My new Range Rover sport should be being built this week and I am thinking of having fixed side runners fitted, what sort of price have others been paying to have these fitted by a main dealer or are people going after market as they seem substantially cheaper but would doubt the build quality would be the same! Just arrived: Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic, black contrast panoramic roof, red brembos.
Gone but not forgotten:

Land Rover Defender X-Tech 2004

£959.17 fitted by dealer last month because I was in a hurry and had to have them fitted otherwise SWMBO could not get in.
Compared with the normal fixed ones on our 2006 they are much slimmer with no edge. In fact if you forget they are there it is very easy to hit your shin.

The dealer has emailed offering £1000 fitted inc vat. Apparently list is £1239 - they seem very expensive these days. On my 2011 disco 4 I paid just over £600.

Peanut - are these ones thick enough to offer protection from other car door damage in car parks etc? Just arrived: Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic, black contrast panoramic roof, red brembos.

They are pretty strong - the channel is underneath. But of course they are low down - i will try to do some photos - it's been put to bed tonight under the car port!

Peanut - That would be great! Thanks Just arrived: Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic, black contrast panoramic roof, red brembos.

Hope these help!!

I meant to upload them to the thread - they are in my gallery...
hope they are now in the message...
Sorry, I am not a frequent user so I forget how to do things!

Perfect thanks.... It does not look like they stick out much further than the body work compared to my discovery.... Just arrived: Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic, black contrast panoramic roof, red brembos.

We have these and they cost zilch, LRHQ compensation (circa £1,300) for a problem we had. As steps they are good and help the wife get in and out of the car, she is currently suffering from a back problem.

As for offering side protection, they do not stick out far enough and offer only minimal protection against the determined car park door basher.

As steps they work, as side protection limited, a personal guard with a shaved head, and a base ball bat would work better to protect against car park damage.

they are unfortunately a bit of a hinderance when you off road however.....

look brilliant all the same MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

I personally don't see the need for steps on the L494 and if I was to pick, I would have the deployable side steps like I have on the L405. As others have said, the fixed side steps can cause issues off road.

Autobiography, Is there still an issue with having to remove the deploy-able sidesteps entirely to jack the car up if you get a puncture/ flat tyre? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Nope. I believe the jacking point is different but no longer need to be removed. I would still always call LR Assist (and have) anyway because I don't think much of the supplied jack.
