https://www.sidesteps.co.uk/shop/range-rover/494/d... seem good quality and easy DIY install with no cutting needed

ETA: check the details from memory certain MY might need holes threading. My 2017 didnt, bolted straight on.

Fitted a set of side steps only last week. Got mine from a company called Turbo-Revs in Essex but there are many other similar kits around.
Prices vary too but I wanted a set that looked as near as possible to OE but without the horrendous Land Rover price tag.Highly recommend.
They really are sturdy and look really good in black (ie no chrome edge strip).
Mine were the two bracket version either side as opposed to the three bracket each side.
Took me five hours to complete the job on my driveway without rushing too much, with just a few hand tools, many cups of tea and a little swearing.
A word of caution: you have to remove the rear door inner mouldings on either side and the retaining clips are sacrificial (or they were for me), so make sure you have some spares before you start. A set of taps/dies is also a good idea, even though it is suggested that this task has already been done at the factory.
