Anyone use a roofrack on their D2, I'm looking at a Thule system for my S8...
Wanted to see if any of you guys use a roof rack system on your D2's.
I'm looking at the Thule Aero Bar setup, over here in the US it is listed as the 480R mount, and the recommended bar length is 53" (135cm). The length of the bar seems pretty long so just thought I would reach out and see what others are running...  And when I'm asking are you guys aware of anyone that successfully used a Prorack Whispbar setup, over here in the US the D2 A8 is not shown on their fit guides...But I love the clean look of their designs...  Just a photo of my car taken a few months ago...

I have originals...
I have original Audi bars (about £10 off fleabay......virtually unused bargain of the century!!) and they are absolutely superb on fit, finish, engineering (the front one is ever so slightly shorter than the back, they are single key lockable, come with their own mini-torque wrench to prevent overtightening (and presumably squashing the edge of the roof), excellent padding to avoid scratches, rubber insert along top edge of bars to stop loads slipping) etc etc.
Can't comment on the other makes, but if you can get hold of the Audi ones, you won't regret it. Solid as a rock. Zip

Thanks for the tip Zip. I've just received a pair of unused Audi original [boxed] roof bars from fleabay for £29.00 plus postage.

Hi
See separate thread as I have just bought p/n 4EO 071 126 advertised as for all 8s not LWB but upon opening the box [received with glee today] the instructions [sealed envelope] indicate A8 03 on. Chris
