Thank you very much - I could meet you at a service station either on your way there or back if OK with you +++

Cheers:D

We're staying at a hotel at the airport and flying out the following morning. I'll find out the name of the hotel so you can just come and pick it up anytime after we arrive. That might be better than trying to meet at a service station as I'm not sure what our timings are likely to be.

PM me a phone number and I'll call you when we set off (it's about 3-4 hours from here) and when we arrive

Cheers and sounds like a cunning plan +++

The hire of the roof rack plus delivery and collection should just about cover your holiday Jim :ROFL:

Nah. . . The Laird doesnt do cheap holidays, I expect its the Burj Al Arab or the Maldives, or Necker Island etc. . . :D

I had a Thule roof rack for my Focus and the feet used are the same so I just needed the fitting kit and the bars.
Got the fitting kit of fleabay for £8.00 and bought new bars from Halfrauds for £80 so cost me less than £90 :D

A few pics of it installed:

Thats a bit of a result Andy - looks like top notch quality +++

Same as what I've got, which I bought off an ex-8 owner on here after his car sold :) not used mine yet, or even fitted them lol

Looks good... Aero bars as well :)

Only 1 better option than aero bars and that's whisper bars - although not checked if they do an a8 option?
