Side steps are a subtle but useful styling accessory specially if you have difficulty accessing the vehicle. The extra step between the floor and the car can make all the difference to someone who may find it a struggle to get in and out of the car otherwise. Another benefit of having side steps is that you can access the roof much easier for cleaning or when attaching loads to a roof bar system.
These bars are designed and manufactured by Misutonida in Italy from a high quality 50mm stainless steel and are polished to give a mirror like shine. A hard plastic tread plate is also sunk into the bar to give a good firm footing on the bar while in use. Installation is a simple process and the kit includes all brackets and fixings required to mount the bars to the vehicle.
We could use a cheap mild steel and then chrome plate it when manufacturing our bars but we don't.
Because after a year or so the bar would look unsightly when weeping rust stains appear. In the iron/carbon mix chromium is also added that gives the steel its stainless qualities. The chromium element stops the iron from oxidising and becoming rust (iron oxide).
Road salt used during European winters and sea salt, speed up rust formation and again gives us another good reason to use stainless steel here in the UK & in Europe where our products are sold. Stainless steel can be exposed to the elements all year round and with a little polish now and again, can look as good as the day it came out of the packaging.
This is the reason boat makers use stainless, and not mild steel. Our stainless has a 3-year warranty, features a mirror polished chrome or black powder coated look (on some black finished items) but is in-fact more expensive, more durable, stainless steel.
