Been researching side steps and have found 2 who can supply & fit , Direct 4 x4 Derby and Side Steps Uk Midlands .
Anyone had either of these products fitted and can give feedback ?
Many Thanks

mine were fitted by Sidesteps UK. Was all very easy, dropped in one Saturday morning and they fitted them FOC outside their workshop, just lifted car to off-road height. Took about 40 minutes and didn't need any of the under car covers to be cut.
I have the chunky ones not the ones that look like JLR originals, They have been on 21 months now still look good and are unmarked from kids and mother-in-law's heels.
Mine are 100% black, there was a choice of all black or with a silver insert. My car has the black pack hence I went 100% black.

Thanks for the reply , would you say the steps stick far enough out to offer some protection from car doors/knocks etc .
When we had a D4 the side steps and left in off road setting offered some protection whilst in car parks , the D4 Steps look wider than the ones available for the D5 , but looking at pics its hard to tell.

I need to get the sidesteps.co.uk steps, already one nasty chip on the widest part of the door. Mordred, do you have a pic of your chunky ones ? Apologies for not doing a forum search.
OP, Eiger is a lovely colour. I had a lot of buyer’s remorse after ordering it to replace Carpathian, but there is not a single lighting condition under which I don’t prefer Eiger. (Not knocking Carpathian, it’s a beautiful colour)

did you also opt for the high/low range box, as when I was going through the configurator (D300 R-Dynamic HSE) it was an option, so looks like as standard the new models dont have high/low range which previous (current) do.

Now gone - D5 HSE 2Ltr in Corris with black roof, black & dynamic packs & 22" black alloys, a bit of a change after 2 D3's and 2 D4's

Dont forget the £760 cost of a full size spare now, whereas it was £0 if you took std wheels or £100 / 200 if you took non standard wheels.
24MY D300 Dynamic SE, Fuji White, Deployable Towbar, full size spare.
Gone 20MY SDV6 Landmark, Indus Silver, Deployable Towbar, 360 Cameras

Low range box being an option just doesn't seem right for a Discovery...
A D300 HSE with towbar and offroad pack is over 70K. Getting very pricy.
