Looks nice, but if you're going off road i'd say without.

As it wraps underneath you lose a lot of clearance.

Im taking the side steps off cause its gonna need some welding on the sills and I dont think all the chrome would look right with the replacement wheels.
also im hoping il save on fuel with the wheels and chrome removed, less drag on the front.

Side steps has got the stupid locking nuts with the plastic so couldnt get them off today

I have some vit bullbars for sale, I think they'd look good ;)

It looks good without the chrome, I'm not a fan off side steps, if you take it offroad they will get bent and get you stuck :lol:

One of the first things I did to my Vit was junk the side steps...they serve no purpose at all and will cost loads in ground clearance.
If it ticks over...leave it

Thanks guys, glad I got more of the same opinion as I was after, I dont like chrome, have no need for them exept the look and dont get me wrong it looks good with the wheels and such but once I put the 8 spoke wellers on Im sure they wont look right atall.

Just hope more people like the look and willing to buy, but I am near Essex so I might have a chance lol

side steps will be coming off when I can get some het on the nuts, keep thinking im going to get caught on a speed bump.

anyone got any uses for either just drop me a pm :)
