roof bars or roof rails, and if roof bars do you mean for car with or without roof rails

1. roof rails run front to back www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151198928156
2. roof bars run across car, without roof rails www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390416595818
3. roof bars run across car with roof rails www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360832966457

I've got a car being delivered next week with a set of roof rails on it. They looked absolutely fine when I looked at it but until the car gets delivered can't guarantee how good they'll be. If you can hold on for a week or 2 I'll have a look and let you know?

I've been looking for a set since I bought the car, so I can certainly hold on for a bit longer!

Thanks!

No problem. These are only pictures I've got at the minute. All 4 corners seem to be intact and fine. £65 Including Delivery with MyHermes if your happy with that? Obviously I'll get proper pictures first

Just a bit of advice Matt. Be VERY careful and patient when removing the covers. It is very easy to break the small plastic tabs on the roof rail covers

Will do, I recall from my 1.8 one cover was snapped off completely in someone's attempt to remove it.

Sounds great if you can get the covers/corners off without breaking them!

I don't think I could pay that without the corners since they seem to cost around £30, and I don't need a set enough to spend nearly £100!

Fingers crossed!
