LAND ROVER FREELANDER I 04-06 SIDE STEPS / RUNNING BOARDS / STAINLESS STEEL!
They arrived damaged and needed modifications. I originally gave a + Feedback, but now regret that. Read on...
After unwrapping the bubble-wrapped parcel (large & 14Kg heavy) I discovered there were two deep dents, one in each of the step's outer-edges. I suggested, by email, the seller revise their packaging - as the bubble-wrap didn't protect the stainless-steel steps from damage.
I also needed to modify four mounting bolts that were too long.
The mild-steel mounting brackets had a slight smear of paint (if-any) on them, so rust would have appeared very quickly with rapid deterioration taking place. I remedied this by painting them - with several coats of gloss paint. I also needed to remove sharp burs of metal too - the bracket's cut surfaces had not been smoothed or dressed, leaving them with a sharp & lethal saw-tooth edge. I actually cut my hand on one of the edges, leaving my blood as a sacrifice. I'm awfully good (or bad) at doing that! Otherwise, the steps are of a good stainless-steel quality. A few errors that make a difference, so there is plenty of room for much needed improvements.
I wish i had bought elsewhere instead. And the deal was I had to pay for any returns... which would have been awfully expensive. Too expensive.
