Hi Folks,

Firstly, I'm sorry to register to just sell something, but hopefully someone will benefit from the recent reluctant sale of my Polo GTi

I have the roofrack which I added to the car about 18 months ago - it comprises of -

Thule 108cm Aero Roofrack Bars - Part No. 860

Thule Polo Footing kit - Part No. 3007

Thule 591 Bike Carrier (the type that grabs the downtue of the bike)

All part of what Thule call their 'rapid' system and was bought for my W Plate 2000 GTi. It looks great (well, for a roofrack! - way better than the square section halfords alternatives!) and an absolute piece of cake to fit - takes roughly 15 minutes and needs only a 5mm allen key.

System comes with locks for the footing kit, locks for the bike carrier and additional locks for the ends of the aero bars. Long story short - the only way any scumbag's gonna nick your rack or bike is by nicking the car - or peeling the roof off!!

The roofrack has served me really well and recently did an epic 1000 mile, 15 hour drive to the South of France with not a single problem. The whole system cost me about £235 when I bought it.

3 very minor snags!

1- Two keys were left in the South of France - so system comes with 4 keys instead of 6 - very cheap and easy to replace through Halfords or Thule direct.

2- I ditched the plastic straps that Thule provide to clamp the wheels in place, I have deep carbon fibre wheels on my bike and couldn't bare the thought of hard plastic rubbing against them - I replaced them with soft fabric woven straps. An upgrade IMO!

3- The tray that the rear wheel sits it is missing a metal fixer, still stays on perfectly well but I want to be totally honest! Will cost about £3 to replace!

The kit may very well fit other VWs with similar housing on the roof. Worth checking out. Can provide any measurements you might need, just gimme a shout.

£100.

I don't have access to forums etc at my work place but can pick up emails, texts and phone calls usually no problem. I'm either on stephenkelly@live.co.uk or 07707 326 274 - If I don't answer it's just because I'm arguing with the missus - drop me a text and I'll call back asap!

Ps. I'm in Leeds and am now car-less so will struggle to deliver, it's quite heavy to post but could be arranged, pick up would be ideal...

Has this sold?
