Mine (and my mates) are OEM VW, as well as the bike rack.

I looked at aftermarket ones but decided on VeeDub as it just looked, well, better quality.

I had a look in  the VW website but I can't seem to access the accessories pages since they updated it - if you don't mind me asking what does a set of bars retail at?  And are they easy to fit and lock etc etc

theBatch....Is your GTI a 3 or 5 door...  I was very happy with the MKIV bars
