Hi
I'm picking up my new (to me) FL2 next weekend so i'm buying a few things beforehand.
1st on the list are sidesteps to avoid the dings and after deciding on the oe lookalikes from powerfuluk i found these - http://www.direct4x4.co.uk/land-rover-free...side-steps
These look easier to fit as they sit under the plastic side trims and don't have the fiddly brackets to align?
Has anyone else fitted these or can comment on if they'll be better?

Thanks

or buy these

Prefer steps to bars as they stick out a bit more so offer better protection from car doors

If your worried about dings probs best to get the body side mouldings

Will be getting the mouldings as well

I can't comment on them being better than the ones we all know and see on most freelanders,
I had a similar set on my jeep with the same kind of brackets and after a while the brackets started to bend
So with that I can only comment on the ones i had fitted on my jeep ones that looked very similar, and that would be do a bit of research before you buy on how strong the brackets are  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Truck  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

This was the video which made my mind up about them - don't look too hard to fit (famous last words)

Might paint the silver brackets with black smoothrite before i fit them?

Also ordered a rivnut tool from those guys to make things easier
