simple, line them up, use some of the original bumper clips and screws to fit. Took less than 5 mins.

slightly, doesn't really bother me. I love the way they look and have had them on quite a few cars.

I was interested in the answer to Hounds question too; I had Hekos on my Honda Civic and they were spot-on, but on the Volvo C30 they definitely increased wind noise and I also had to fit extra clips to stop them sagging. The C30 does have very long doors/windows due to being a two-door but on the Civ they were worthwhile.

I had them on the QQ for 48 hours and took them off, Dave. I wondered whether it was just me, so asked sduk. I suspect it's me being fussy. I have a virtually brand new set if you want some!

Hi Sammy,
The car looks great where did you get those running boards from are they standard or aftermarket not looked into them but they look good and how hard are they to fit and do they require drilling underneath?

hey, thanks! I got the running boards from ebay...

They were really easy to fit. The kit I got comes witih everything. You just remove a couple of plastic plugs and fit the mounting bracket, then attach the metal bar that the step then bolts onto. No drilling required.

The only bit of DIY that is required is you need to trim a small part of the plastic undertray to get access to the rear mounting point. I just used a grinder to keep it neat but you could easily trim it with a hacksaw.

If you need any more info or help to fit them just let me know :)
