MK2 Roof Bars - Do They Exist?
« on: 07 November 2005, 13:30 »
Does anybody know where I could get some roof bars for my Mk2? Checked with a local motorfactor and they don't appear to exist for some strange reason.............. :evil:

Thule do some, step into Halfrauds (or ask Slick nicely?) and they'll tell you how much...

I've got a pair of the original VAG ones.  Very simple design, and not that sturdy, so if there is something a little more substantial I would buy it, if I were you......

Not the best of pics, but here you go:
They are the cheap ones that halfords do, about £25 if i remember?? If you want me to, i'll look up the number?
