Re: someph-ing different...........

Ooooh! I've been looking into getting a bike rack for the clio, sick of chucking muddy bikes in the back! Plus they pull on the harnesses lol.

Out of interest did you look into racks for the boot?

Car looks great btw, really like the interior!

exactly the reason i didn't ever chuck bikes in the back....pulls on the harnesses, i used to have one for the rear, and i pulled the straps to tight once which dented the tailgate...doh...got it sorted again but got rid of that terrible rack...

this is spot on i can put the bike and everything in it, all out of the way...

cheers for the kind words

Re: someph-ing different...........

I've got a boot one, but with the spoiler it's pretty unstable, and I was never keen on hooking it onto the lip of the top of the tailgate.

With the rapid fit kit is the idea that you can whip em off pretty easily? i.e. you can just fit the whole roof rack etc just for when you go biking? As that's what I was after tbh.

practically mainly, but comes with looks in my opinion (bauhaus styling - form follows function)

as said this will only be going on for biking, or moving big stuff, like houses...lol

it won't stay on as a fashion mod

Re: someph-ing different...........

how much did that set you back pepe? pm or txt me if ud prefer. i cant keep using the van for the 50mile return trip to the forest every other weekend and this would solve everything, same as you and rich, cant fit the bike with harness. im worried in a collision its also going to strangle and kill me.

despite covering everything i still scratched the boot and rear bumper when i had the rack for my saxo so will never go to a boot one again.

Re: someph-ing different...........

I like it, but part of me wants it to sit lower down, so that the THULE aero board at the top is like 2 inches from the roof?

yer thats what we were thinking, we may be able to flip the front bar but don't think it will work, its all down to how high the feet sit.

Re: someph-ing different...........

just cleaned and painted the cup alternator mounts in the same style as the engine so will all match

had a look in the engine bay and can't figure out how it will all fit though...hope it does
