 Topic: side stepsPosted: 22 Nov 2010 at 11:20pm |
|
Im wondering if anyone can tell me where I can buy side steps for my QQ+2 Tekna 2010 model, we were hoping to save a few £££'s by getting them else where other than from the main dealers (Spent enough with them already!!!
 )
But I'm finding it virtually impossible, I ordered one lot, which after my mechanic spent 2 hours trying to fit we were told we'd been sent the wrong ones. The company was adamant that I'd ordered the wrong ones so it was my mistake. After insisting he check his invoices, he rang me back and told me, it was their mistake and he'd issue me a refund. I asked him, just to send me the ones I'd originally ordered and apparently he was unable to do this as he no longer sold them! Even though at that point of him telling me this I was viewing them on his site on the internet. ---STRANGE?!
Hope someone on here is able to help!
Thanks in advance
 EDIT: READ ON FOR MORE INFO BUT I NOW HAVE THEM FITTED

had a look at sgpetch, they don't have steps for the +2, only the "normal" QQ, which certain ones (such as craigfishin and other members) have on their normal QQ and they fit the +2 but leave a 13cm gap at the end, so not exactly ideal...
im not sure if steps are produced for the +2, havent seen any before, caz and mohawk have the dealer fitted side styling bars instead

Strange that - you would think given the use of the +2 with kids in the back that proper +2 side steps would be a useful addition...

yeah, don't know if nissan stock them and no ones made a pattern part yet, or if they are just not available from any source, someone on here should be able to answer for deffinate, standandtan or simon, being nissan dealers might know.. hopefully they will get a look at this

Have been asking this question myself on other forums. Dont know if we are talking about the same thing, but am looking for the side Bars for the +2, but the ones with the foot plates on (like Craigs) I have seen a make 'Cobra' and Craig said (cant remember?) a different make that were his. Trouble is cant find any for the +2's.. and dont like the Nissan ones, as just look like pipes, which are apparantly no good for standing on,!!! Which defeits the object somewhat!!

great links hamish, aint seen them before mate.(knew someone would come through lol) so link 1 & 2 say they are side steps for +2 so they should deffinately be the right length
it comes down to style preference and financial fluidity really,
personally i dont like the flat plates that are like the nissan fitted steps and are bland to me (they are the ones in link 2 4x4at) but at £129.95 are very cheap.
i like the look of the ones autostylinguk are selling in link 1 but at £388.63 are a large outgoing!!
but look cool lol

It was the 4x4 site, I ordered mine from, but they were the tube ones, and advertised for the +2. They didn't, so why they were sold as +2 is beyond me, and they accused me of buying the wrong type!!!
I'm wondering if those on the auto styling, are the same type, which will have the gaps either end?

you could email them and ask for a length measurement, tell them you ordered a set from another side that looked the same and were told they were for a +2 but were not long enough. email the ebay one and ask for a length measurement aswell and you will know if the ones from autostyling are 13cm longer or not
 (as the ebay ones state a 13cm gap at end on a +2

Just the last query for them? Are they the same fittings for the 2010 models? Prob r, will have a look int morning as the Mrs on the PC doing School Santa letters and this phone is a nightmare! Especially with my eyesight!!LOL , would be nice to sort it out though, as I think they give the car a real 4x4 look, and really sets Mr Fishings off!! And others I've seen, price is a factor, think Nissan want £500 for theirs which is OTT!

good news that affman, i think they are the same, the nissan ones i dont like the steps are flat plates, and there bar ones are styling bars and not for standing on...
yeah it is great the disagreements are a great laugh, and we have quite a few members affman its just fishy is the sac admin and shady is his sidekick and according to them im cowpers sidekick(he started the NSAC) there is arguments we have over 2000 members as there are 2000 odd members registered and SAC have 57 members so the rest are by default NSAC (no solar ashtray club lol)
yeah im 21 mate, i remember my mother having an xr21 and my dad had the xr3i when i was about 3 or so.
lol am i too young for here? or are you saying im a bit young for a qashqai lol.
would like to know if i am the youngest member on here.. well the youngest who has a QQ or is getting a QQ not people who have signed there 8yo's up lol
if it wasnt for insurance premiums i would have a much sportier car probably, would like a toyota supra or a nissan 370z but both of them gave me insurance premiums of 9 grand(1995 supra) a 6 grand(370z) so wasnt an option, maybe when im older. qashqai is probably best for me though to make me drive slower and safer Edited by CraigQQ - 01 Dec 2010 at 11:15pm |

could always spray them with a bit of that chrome paint craig, painted an acoustic guitar with it once, worked pretty well. or a bit of chrome vinyl and wrap the end caps (im sure you would find some cheap chrome vinyl on ebay) |

those steps certainly look good and that is a +2 for sure so they do fit, and a bit cheaper than the ones hamish found, great find affman
the front bar however, not to my taste but also it says for mk1 only yet its shown there on a facelift.... strange lol maybe its not properly fitted on that photo... if it doesnt fit round the facelift bumper...
we do have a discount code for formula 4x4 in discount section, just tested it still active and working, gives a nice £15 discount on those bars for the plus 2,
so if any newbies are interested in the ones from formula 4x4 a £10 contribution to this great forum would give you the contributed status you need to get the code for £15 pound discount, five pound saved plus member status and access to the whole forum, double positive
also lots of other great discounts, not kidding you ive already saved atleast 30-40 using our discount codes fishy works hard to get us lol Edited by CraigQQ - 02 Dec 2010 at 10:08am |

Im sure Craigfishin would LOOOOve this. Im sure ive seen these Bars around these forums before, but with so many going on, i lose track
 I have printed off a copy of the site and neatly placed it into my ever growing Qashqai Folder, for use nearer the time...Hopefully Kerry and pepes may purchase in the mean time to give us their opinions and advice, I am Happy Now, apart from having to go to work tonight!!!

Yep, they are for the +2!! Obviously being a woman I didnt think to look at the window!! They will take 3 weeks to arrive, I also like the idea for the caps on the end!!.....Off to have a private word with poor hubby to be!!! Maybe if I smile really sweetly!!....
If 21 is too young for a QQ is 27 ok??? Else Im taking it back to the garage!!....Dont want to look old before my time!!! Lol!!! I love my car!!! Hopefully I can be the guinea pig, that ebay site, they were approx 66inch long, but the proper +2 ones couldnt give me the length...... Ho Hum........the ones from formlar 4 site, was the ones delivered to us which didnt actually fit, and when I got my refund and them picked up I enquired about these ones, and he said he no longer stocked them....which I thought was odd as these were the ones I'd originally ordered............but wasnt sent...........

I've fitted bull bars to all my jeeps but that was to spruce up the usually plain front end , I like the front of the facelift so don't want to cover it up to be honest

oh right, that is strange as affman rang them and they said they fit perfectly to a facelift +2 but just remove plastic caps... as they are made for prefacelift i believe. poor husband to be, doesnt even know its coming and hes getting fooled into buying you steps
someone else in there 20's lol about time, was all alone here

So are the ones I posted from FORMULA 4X4 the ones you ordered from them but were wrong?
 Or you ordered off Ebay and got the Formula 4x4 ones and they didnt fit

no i ordered from the actual website, they were very helpful when i rang them but told me they then didnt do the +2 version when i asked for an exchange on the steps that were sent out, which was confusing as I could see them advertised on the site! I definatly prefer those from Formular 4x4! Might drop them another email and see what they say
This was all back in July, maybe they've made new ones since then? Hope so!!
