Updates (no pics)

Rack is fitted!! after removing the fitting arms from the rack, i managed to use the brackets to mount the desmo onto the current one with no trouble at all!

Fitted the rack combo to the car, put the ladders on and... :embarassed: to 1st and 6th bars (sit higher than other 4) bowed. i had 2 choices:

1- remove the desmo rack and just fit it for shows
2- remove the 1st and 6th bar from the desmo rack

i opted for #2, as the desmo rack is like flat pack furniture it all comes apart, only 1 of the 4 screws rounded off, so after some drilling and some all helping swearing, the bars where off!  :cool:

Went to work today, no probs with it at all so im very happy, will get some pics hopefuly on sunday @ vw battlesbridge show. (cameras being a twit at the moment.

i have also added some more vinyl  :rolleyes:
