Better on or off??

NorthSea92 · Aug 27, 2013

The first thing I done when I got my P38 home was take off the roof rails, I kept them in the garage and was going to sell them but then I saw a picture of an Epsom green P38 buffed to a mirror shine with roof rails and decided I would put them back on. That was a few months ago and I still haven't got round to it

If you dont want em ill give you some beer credit for them

This explains why it's so difficult to get any !

Every bugger is looking for the same thing .... Definitely on ! (Looks proper...)

Now if you could all participate in an e bay amnesty so I can buy some without opposition for an extremely reasonable price then buff my Epsom green P38 ... I'd be much obliged

Seen them sell on eBay for £300+

ouch!!!

Leave the roof bars on (less the cross bars), but lose the side steps.

clarkie · Aug 28, 2013

take them off there fugly unless you use them everyday

stueep38 · Aug 28, 2013

Really? I don't think there that bad

I took mine off because the bars were to wide for my roof box brackets, now have standard THULE bars with various equipment attachments which go on when required.

Keep the steps, they give you access to the roof rack, save putting a bloody ladder on the back !

I think the side steps make a P38 look a bit dumpy and fat, they spoil the clean lines of the design I think so I took them off mine when I bought it.

I agree 100%. I did exactly the same with mine.

I can't take them off

in my opinion, p38's look weird without the steps! My boss has a p38 (standard as humanly possible) and in my opinion it looks 100x better

what can I say? I love it

The OEM steps can distort & look crap. A decent set of aluminium steps is the answer

stueep38 · Sep 2, 2013

I dunno, mine have been on there since 1999 mate

there still good as new

Thats good going. Mine were bowing upwards in the middle (most i've seen do the same). The rot on the frame underneath was unreal & the things weigh a bloody tonne.
