They will yes if they are genuine LR. Can't comment on after market types, but I see no reason why they won't fit. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Hi - Went to part ex it for an XS and there was a white dynamic parked next to the XS i was looking at. Liked the look of the dynamic and i get 20% off a new landrover or jaguar working for Tata steel - Cheers.

Glad to see you're having side steps on the Dynamic.

I've got one on order and thought sidesteps would look great on it so have included them in my spec.

Would love to see photos of yours and then I'll know what to expect.

Does anyone actually use their side steps?

They just seem to be a dry cleaners optional extra fitting - that is they are designed place road muck, grime etc onto the back of your trouser leg. Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet?

Hi - Collected he Dynamic last night and have decided not to put the sidesteps on. May go for sidebars later on. Looking for mudflaps that will fit - Dont think the standard ones will - Cheers.

I use mine with no problems. As long as you actually USE the sidestep getting in and out and don't try to step over it you will be fine. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Kelleys 07 -We were talking about mudflaps and sidesteps.

We had determined that mudflaps would not fit with the body kit.

I see that you are no longer going to have sidesteps - any particular reason (?) because strangely the garage is now telling me that LR don't recommend the fitting of sidesteps to the Dynamic - again because of the body kit. Strange.

I had side tubes fitted to a previous HST (very similar, if not same, body kit). Will side tubes fit on the Dynamic (?) because, in my opinion, it needs something!

Well, after much research and deliberation I finally went ahead and had sidesteps fitted to my Dynamic.

After being told that they would not fit (doors will rub, Sir), I found pictures of Dynamics with them fitted (on eB@y) and had some correspondence with the garages that had the cars for sale. It appears that the body kit sits no lower than the original doors so, I went ahead.

Harwoods (Hove) were very helpful, took great care in fitting them and, LO & Behold, they're fine.

Doors don't rub and they look great (IMO).
