I designed both using plumbing pipe to get the shape and angles, then had a friendly local shop make them.
what do you think?
only slight problem is the front parking sensors, will have to spend a little time figuring out if I can disconnect the front two closest to the bar.
I think they really complement the car. Roof rack was a great addition to carry our luggage down to the coast, a 12 hour journey, on and off road.
Love the car, looks great, drives beautifully, plenty of power even at over 2,000m above sea level.
only annoying thing is a knock from the front when going slow over less than smooth roads. Sounds like someone shaking a can with a spanner inside, under a duvet.
the local dealer is suggesting replacing the whole front suspension!
oh, and it's perfect for towing my bike.
