Anyone got a picture of a 6 with roof bars on? Do a lot of mountain biking so need to find a way to transport the bike without folding the seats down etc! Looking at getting roof bars, only if it doesn't look too daft!

Why not get a removable bike rack for the boot? Roof racks only look good on stuff like audi estates  |

Id rather just put a tent ground sheet in the boot to keep it clean and fold the seats down though, you cant put roof bars on  |

oh oh! I know someone who has Thule Roof bars for a 306 for sale. If you want them, get in touch, they'll be cheap. A chap was going to give me them as part of the sale of his rallye but I decided not to bother with them. Where in scotland are you? This guy's in Aberdeen but I'm sure he'd arrange delivery. ________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |
