RE: Side Steps

They look fine but I just don't see how the RRE is high enough to need them...I had steps on my D4 but that was much higher. Also limits off-road adventures too...

RE: Side Steps

I like the look. They give some additional door protection and do make it much easier to get in and out of the rear of the coupe.

RE: Side Steps

I thought I wouldn't need steps on my FL 2 but with young kids they are a life saver I can assure you. And all the more reason to get some fitted to the Evoque when it arrives. I like them so thumbs up from me Smile

RE: Side Steps

One thing for sure - anybody who opens a car door beside you in a car park will come off the worst if they open it too far they stick out so much. Maybe a set of FFRR electrically powered steps could be made to fit.

They are also a very big help for adding and taking items out of a roof box, when you are under 6 ft tall..

RE: Side Steps

Xfft - whilst they appear quite visible in the photos, they don't actually stick out much further than the door - 5 to 10mm at a guess.
