Sorry for the dealy i shall take some photos with the ol' iphone to show you all (sepcially as the car is clean again after the last big drive day)

Okay here are the pics






Should give you the idea. They are secured under the black covers on each side (they slide up and out) and there is a special security bolt that you need to get them off.

Hey Bennobee,

I'm using photobucket..easy enough to use and no dodgy pop ups!

Jayse.

Thanks for the pics Bennobee,

I had already gone ahead and ordered the prorack whispbar S53 - I fancied the concept of the windnoise being as low as possible. I will post some pics when it arrives and I fit it.

Thanks again for the effort taking the pics..

No problem the noise is a pain but i hear it only above 100km an hour (so should be fine right)

Has anyone put a roof box on with the racks? If so, what are they like for capacity, effect on fuel, noise, etc? We're finding out that with a little one, baby seats, dogs, prams, etc, that the car gets very small very quickly, and there's a bit of a toss-up between a trailer or a roof box.

they look a bit of a wank to me. my brother bought one , had it one the roof for 6 months, never used it then took it off.

But i always wanted to try it......

Sounds like a trailer will be the way to go..

Hi Ben,
Wondering how you went with your pics....
Couldn't adapt my old Thule bars, so have to purchase new ones. Considering either the wider Thule or the neat Whispbars, so very interested how they look on your car and how the wind noise is??

Sorry Final Cut,

Just picked them up last week and haven't had a chance to fit them yet. Will hopefully give them trial run at the weekend so I'll take some pics and post them.

Cheers,

Ben
