Just watch the paint under the feet of the rack, if you're leaving it on for long periods. I left mine on for 8 months and it marked.
They do look cool though and are practical.

Cheers yea loving the look and looking for a box locally
I was informed about problem with leaving on and was told to make sure I polished the car before fitting, only takes about 10 mins to put it all together

I was surprised with how easy it all fits together only down sides were the noise in the summer with the roof open and also it drags the economy down.

That't not a bad idea would certainly reduce the noise detracts from the look of the car though unfortunately.
On that note your car does look the dogs ruperts. I love the colour especially with the .:R front and cupra splitter.
