I bought some 2mm thick 20mm wide aluminium steps, and drilled holes to align to convenient holes on the front beam.

It's very shodilly done. Will share a picture next time I am with the car

I see on your profile you are based in Kings Langley? It will probably be in 2 weeks time but I will likely even be driving past KL so will send you a PM if I am.

Thank you Simon, I had wondered what this was:

2mm thick 20mm wide aluminium steps,

I guess now the reference was to straps !
