TRANSPORTER T7 ONWARDS - SIDE STEPS

You’ve probably been eagerly awaiting the arrival of your new Volkswagen Transporter T7 van. One thing is for sure, it’s almost certainly one of the freshest, best-looking vans out there right now. But, it’s also one of the most popular vans in the UK, so how do you make it stand out even further from the crowd? Check out the range of side steps from Vanstyle…

So, what exactly does a side step do? Firstly, it enhances the look of your van – and with the Vanstyle range of side steps designed specifically for the Transporter T7, there’s no compromise. The fit is perfect, and the step complements the van, subtly but effectively enhancing its presence on the road or when parked in your driveway. Secondly, the step makes it easier for the driver and passengers to enter and exit the van. This is especially important on double cab and other variants with extra passenger capacity. Lastly, the step protects the sill area of the van from damage – replacing a side step is far cheaper than repairing bodywork.

There are several styles of side steps to choose from. The aluminium side step, available in black or silver, offers excellent value for money, providing a low-profile stance while protecting the van as mentioned above. The steps come with plastic end caps to protect the areas most prone to damage. These steps are designed for light-duty use, so if you're using your vehicle for more intense purposes, like heavy delivery, you might prefer to consider a more heavy-duty solution.

The Rufford side step, also available in black or silver, provides an extended platform that offers easier access for passengers. This wider profile adds extra protection against damage to the lower part of the vehicle. These steps are lightweight, so they won’t impact your payload, and plastic end caps ensure the step can handle any knocks.

Adding extra functionality, the Thoresby side step includes stylish, slip-resistant plastic inserts. Not only do these protect the step from scrapes and scratches from footwear, but they also help passengers enter and exit safely, reducing the chances of slipping on wet or slippery surfaces. Again, you can choose black or silver finishes.

For the ultimate side step, opt for the Walesby side step. You’ll benefit from the textured plastic tread plates for extra protection, and the black version is powder-coated for added corrosion resistance. The black finish complements other accessories available for the Transporter T7, but if you prefer a shinier look, the Walesby side step is also offered in a bare silver aluminium finish.
