Cheers all - I like it and they are actually the Wing bars and very quite they are too when no load is on and you have your foot down;)

Whisper bars are much quieter yes :rolleyes:

There is a whisper bar option for the A8 - I already had a third of the Thule kit so that's the way I went.

Now I've looked at this on a decent screen rather than iphone, those bars are much thinner profile than original Thule aero bars :ROFL: have they changed the design recently?

You might need to read more carefully, they are not aero bars:

I read psyche's post and thought that's what they are - so having looked on halfords site, yes these 'wing' bars are replacements for thule 'aero' bars and akin to the 'whispbars'

I blame it on a lack of sleep this week courtesy of our 2 yr old.....
