TRANSPORTER T7 ONWARDS -
SIDE STYLING
Seeing a blank space on your new
Volkswagen Transporter T7? At
Vanstyle, we have all the accessories
you need to scratch that itch while
also making your van more
functional.
The all-time favourite
accessory for both style and
substance is, without a doubt, side
steps and bars. They make entering
your van easier and give you better
access to roof storage. Side steps
mount under the sills to provide a
tread platform. With strong brackets
designed to fit without drilling or
modifying your chassis, you can
easily fit these boards to any
wheelbase length. And with a variety
of styles to choose from, you'll be
sure to find the right look for your
van.
Cheaper styles might be a
bit shallower, offering a minimalist
look without being too bulky, but we
recommend something like the
Rufford side steps. They have a high-
quality aluminium body, an
integrated anti-slip tread plate, and
come in two colourways. All our steps
are available in both silver and black,
so you can personalize your steps to
match the style you've chosen.
The Thoresby-style step
has been used in many of our vehicle
fitments, including the well-known
Transporter range. It incorporates
wear-resistant plastic inserts for high
traction, while still using an
aluminium body for a low weight and
good capacity limits. Fitting between
the front and rear wheels, the step
provides coverage for the sliding and
front doors. Even if it's just for the
driver and passenger on a working
van, it's a great addition to the van's
practicality. It's almost essential on
vans with lift kits fitted.
If you're hard on your van
and want to protect high-traffic
areas, sill protectors help limit
damage in the entry area to your
front cabin. They are easy and
effective to fit, remaining almost
unnoticeable while quietly resisting
paint and surface damage from wear
and tear.
Styling options like side
skirts give a finished look to vans
with front and rear splitters fitted.
They attach to the underside of your
sills and cannot be fitted with steps
but look fantastic when paired with a
lowering spring kit.
Polished garnishes, like
side streamers, add a touch of class
in a world of black and white
accessories. Extend the style with an
easy-to-install window trim cover set,
made from stainless steel for
corrosion resistance and minimal
maintenance, giving your van a great
look.
FAQ:
Q: How heavy-duty are your
side steps?
A: The steel brackets and strong
aluminium step bodies are designed
for daily use, but we wouldn’t
recommend the entry-level
aluminium steps for heavy-duty
applications like taxi services.
Q: Can I fit side steps myself?
A: Of course! These steps are
designed for a direct fit to your
Transporter T7, making installation
easy. But, if you're unsure, you can
always hire a professional to fit them
for you.
