What’s the pint of adding these? They’ll lower ground clearance, add a body part that’s fragile, will bend and ultimately damage parts that proper rock sliders should protect. If you wanted something easier to get into, maybe you should have bought a velar?

I am also looking for a rear tire cover, have looked on ebay for knock off versions. Not pulled the trigger, want to make sure they are quality.
I was interested in those same side steps. I liked that it’s all black, Let us know how the install goes.

Thats actually not that bad. I wish my dealer would only charge $600.

I just ordered the wheel arch protectors, tired of waiting on local dealership to get them. Ordered from UK so be a while to get here. Taking a bit, but have it how we want. Used http://www.mm-4x4.com/, free shipping. Claims authentic parts.

Are you in the US? If so, those may not work. They don't have provisions for the side marker lights we have to have here. At least they don't show them or say anything about them on that site.

The part number you need is Vplep0380 which is NAS 110 wheel arch protectors. Which wouldn’t be the normal ones the UK would carry.

when you ordered from the us they quoted you free shipping to the us? That would be amazing. I ordered vplep0380 off another I’m website that was quoting 27-35 $ shipped to my door, I confirmed it with a guy on the phone and a chat agent, then after I placed my order they emailed me and said “just kidding, this shipping is calculated on box dimensions, not weight, which is how we calculate shipping costs before orders, so the total freight to the us is going to be like~160$“ and they were back ordered indefinitely. So I cancelled.

I’ll just wait until the uk comes back on line or the aftermarket has some options to consider. But I haven’t seen anyone who has them in stock or can ship them to the east coast reasonably.

let us know how your experience goes though. If you get them and they’re the real deal that’s a great find.
