That would be me, and I still have it. The problem is that I haven't had
any time to figure out how much this thing costs. It is a high quality
part, aluminum. Does anyone else have one of these? Is it a VW part?
(looks "official")
The reason I don't want it for my Westie is because it limits clearance
if I am in a off-road/camping situation. Also, at 32, I am still able to
get into the vehicle without the need of an extra step... :)
I will appreciate any suggestions as far as price for this. I do have a
couple of pictures of the running board that I would like to put in the
net, but have no idea how to do it. (I guess I need a scanner?)
Thank you.
Cris.
