Roof Bars on a sport

[Paul89]

Is it possible to fit roof bars to a Clio 182 Sport 2005 model.

I have seen pictures on the net of them fitted to sports but my clio doesnt have any guides or anything. Do they bolt up in the door creases or something?

Im looking on getting some roof bars and carrying a Go kart, will this be possible?

Thanks

Paul

Yeah 100% possible. I have some for my sport somewhere....

Thanks mate, Do you think the roof will support the weight of a go-kart?

Trying to get exact weight of the kart on the net..

75-85 Kg max

Not sure I'd want much more than a couple of bikes on the roof .. let alone a go-kart !! Find a mate with a van ?!

just checked in the manual and it says 70kg. Should be ok ill just always drain the fuel and take any extra weight of the kart before hand.

Try spreading the weight as evenly as you can, I've seen people's roofs with creases in after loading heavy thingqs into roof boxes

I used to carry my TKM on the roof of my dads Mazda 323. Lol. Was always fine for us but I wouldn't put it on my car...

What kart do you have?

Great engine, the Rotax. Are you planning on racing it or just buying it to take it testing for fun?

Which circuits will you be going to?

Cruz bars with locks came in at £65 delivered, just as good as the Thule ones I've had on other cars too for about a third of the price.
