Disappointed with the quality
Disappointed with the quality. I purchased the Freedom Running Boards for my BMW X5 E70 for around £250. The Boards are less than 16 months old and they have already started to flake off on the top finish. I contacted for advice only to be told that as they are out of warranty there isn't anything they can do but did offer to sell me a replacement board at a discounted price. Given the quality of the current set, I suspect I would be faced with the same issue 16 months down the line. For what they are, I would have expected much better quality. The Boards look good but that's about it. I was not provided any fitting instructions so had to chase that up and the Boards do come loose every now and then so have to tighten them up. I purchased them more for practicality than looks as my kids are young but so soon into ownership, this problem should not occur.
Two of the brackets slightly bent
Two of the brackets slightly bent. 2 bolts missing and one large nut missing.
Arrived on time
Arrived on time, exactly what we wanted and great quality.
But did take it to the garage to have it fitted for our peace of mind!

Excellent Drawer Unit
Purchased a single drawer for my Discovery to sit next to my dog crate. I wanted a heavy duty drawer for all my gun dog training equipment that was usually chucked in the boot making that half of the boot unusable. The drawer now stores all my stuff but I can now use the top of it for normal things like shopping bags etc.
The drawer is very very well made (didn’t really appreciate how heavy they are until I went to lift it 😆). Also has the slide out board which will be useful for my mini hob. All in all it’s amazing and the delivery was super fast and the courier (DX) were super efficient and brought the very heavy box in to my house.
Highly recommend.

Just fitted the steps
Just fitted the steps, look great, not very easy to fit without proper ramps and locating the mounting holes took time. But I hope it will prove to be worth it .
Good communication and prompt delivery
Dealing with Craig
It was so easy speaking with Craig who offered me the Audi Q7 side steps @ £139 but when I paid (cash), he confirmed that it worked out as £133. He arranged for the warehouse staff to bring the large box to my car and help me get it in. Faultless!
