Hello Mick,

I would suggest Parts King for new,and someone like 24 7 parts on the internet for used,

also sometimes it is worth looking for Toyota parts in your area.

Good hunting

I got the Toyota stick on ones from Parts_King. I thinks they were about £70, and pretty

easy to fit (as long as temp is above 15C).Also done a couple of threads, one about fitting

them, the other a poll on whether I should have had them painted or not.If I remember, it

was about 50/50 but I went for unpainted.

edit, assuming yours is a 4.3, they will look like this -

Just seen this,

Could they fit yours?

If your main concern is for protection and don't have to have OEM style (not sure if you are looking to replace existing ones), then you could get just about any kind of side protection rubbers strips off e-Bay.  I bought some Pattern parts off e-Bay for my Qashqai rather then the Official Nissan ones, but could have also just got non-specific ones as well.

having said all that, if they are still £70 for a complete set of the 'real thing' from Parts King, then that has got to be the best bet
