As long as you realise they do need fixing up, that's why I changed them for new, but your more than welcome to come pick them up, I have kept all the bits, just say when you want to pick them up, you know where I am and your welcome to them

They look like they have plenty of life left. Cheaper to change if you don't have a welder, easy to reinforce if you do

Brian has taken them now, he came round yesterday, I did see someone on here make a pair out of stainless and he used the old rubber covers, they did look good, the rubbers on mine are 100% that's why I just didn't want to throw them away, you just cant seem to get the originals any moreThey look like they have plenty of life left.

I think he'd do better with some sort of loft-ladder for his missus but maybe he'll get the rubber to fit.

Side steps ruin the bodywork lines, a £5.00 folding step off fleabay does exactly the same job. But you don't have to leave it hanging out of the window on a string, if you don't want to spoil the looks of the car. .

I'd go along with that but having grounded out a few times (and got away with it) I do wonder if some tree/rock sliders might be an idea.

Grounded out? The roads in Bucks must be really shit.
They are!
Couple of times in the woods the "puddle" turned out to be somewhat deceptive. They've had those big forestry machines up there in the wet and they've got massive wheels that have made some ruts into chasms. Once it is cocked with a rear wheel in the air you're pretty much digging for gold with the front.

That's why I have instas on the front, saves needing a winch. Can drop pressures with 32"s so won't dig but probably won't help much with road wheels
You can get the sliders without steps so doesn't intrude on the look of the vehicle like rubber banannas. They arent much cheaper though.
I don't like the ones plastic'd up with arches and chrome stripes either. Ones without don't rot
