Went off today to Thetford Forest, and I have to say very impressed with how the car handles with bikes on!  Four bikes today, but five tomorrow as going back again for some more muddy fun!

I picked up a Thule rack for £60 off ebay, and then changed the fitting kit to the Smart's.

Hiya mate

could you let me have the part Nos of the fittings you needed ??

I take it they are ones that 'hook' under the tridion ??

[K80POO]

They are Thule 754 rapid system with 1347 fit kit (which goes under the trid) andthen aero bars.  Very easy to fit and take off, and great with the bikes on the roof. 

I picked mine up off Ebay for £60 and got the fitting kit from Halford's for about £20 (the bloke was selling them to fit a SAAB that he had, and hadn't thought of changing the feet  ).  It carries 5 bikes (2 adult, 2 mid size and one small) very easily, and doesn't do much to the performance/ fuel consumption.

Many thanks
 
I already have bar's just needed a part no. for the feet so I can cross ref. with a different manufacturer for the kit I have

Its not for a bike rack mind But a roofbox

I was looking at our roof  box the other day and thinking it would be funny on it.

I drove down to the south of France and back with a roof box on mine, was absolutely fine. No problems at all.
