Hi guys,

Been adding some trims and bits to the new QQ this weekend, but drawn a bit of a blank on the side steps.

Has anyone else installed their own, and can provide any advice please?

- the rear brackets that bolt in to the chassis, my car doesn't have a bolt there, just a hole, that isn't threaded. It lines up in the right place but there's no way to secure the bolt?

- the front bolts line up and are ok

- the smaller brackets that mount to the sill, again there's no threaded holes for these and appear to require drilling into the underside of the body work, (as opposed to the chassis) which I'm not certain would be strong enough to bolt in to? And if this is the case, how do you get a nut on the other side? Is it a case of pulling up the carpet and moving the sound deadening etc? Seems a bit involved for what it is.

I've attached the instructions provided, so you can see the type I've got...
