Side steps/ running boards

[Husky310]

New to this forum but have reading the post for a couple of weeks. About to receive a multivan for transporting my family and our toys.
Been look at getting some side steps just a simple matt black pipe to limit the under panel damage and shopping trolley dents for when it's in wife mode.
Only ones I have found in Australia where $800. Would love to support local but when I can buy some from the UK for $250 with another $250 for postage I may have to get them from over seas.

Please any help.
we need a site like trade vans here in Aus

The trouble with Australia is our small market , not many manufactures would bother with the production cost for something that would have limited sales . That may be why the cost for local is so expensive compared to Europe .

UK would be your best bet.

They're all the rage on modified vans over there.

Thanks. But was looking for an Aussie supplier.
New question:
Would any one like a set of these either in chrome or matt black
tring to gauge if other people are interested to try and get a supplier to stock here in Aus.
