Can either find a set of the official smart car ones but these are curved and could cause a problem fitting some bits or

get some thule roof bars from many places including halfords or here;

seems like a good price to me for the whole kit.

You could have more than one buyer for them if you do....as I can't get any keys for the
genuine Smart ones I got from JJ.  :'(

No locks on mine so you'd need to buy some Thule ones.

Think ferrina had a set..but not for sale though...I think I asked long time ago.
And re Smart keys....you got no idea how many dealers etc I tried...rang must be 20
or so...and in some cases after inital "we'll get back to you" got told..no longer available.
Thought Thule keys would be the ones...but have seen that their ones with locks have
an 'N'  in front of the numbers on the barrels.  I'll keep looking though.

Maybe one day...one day...someone will join up who has a forFour with roof bars with
key number 47....and then I'll be able to get a copy or 2 done for the bars I got from
you. Till then they'll be consigned to the loft/garage.

Hi, both Lady V and I would love to have the roof bars, if you've not sold them already. We already have a roof box but no bars that will fit any of our cars.

We want to try to drive around Europe in one of our cars next year, most notably to Belgium and Holland. Potentially Germany. Having a roof box would be awesome.

Please let us know!

I'll bring them to the forfour meeting point as I've already got some bits for CrazyG.  You can take a look and decide then.  You have 1st refusal  :)

Thanks muchly blackdog, we will be going to smart of croydon first, and plan to leave there about 9ish - depending on the traffic level we would like to meet at tescos too - hopefully we will be there half 9ish. If people plan to drive en bloc at around quarter to 10, we should be there in time to say hi and to join the convoy.
