There's some shiny stuff there.
I like the look of the front a bars on there and the shiny skid plate.

Just out of interest do these steps exist in two guises; with groves and a flat upper surface? If this is the casee do the rubber pads fit the groved steps?

There is only one type of official ones. They have the groves in the top and the rubber pads have matching groves in the base of them
