I've opted for a fast "plug and play"solution, installed today in 2 hous these Bully matte black sidesteps, it matches the cladding and the car as a whole, very happy with the final result and won't be messing wish brackets and adapting anything, Australia is a very lonely place to be when the matter is a VX...
Functional because my kids use to go to the backseat, don't need anything longer than that.
