I had a good look at it this weekend so I'm reasonably confident. Looks too good with it though to be reomved! Fantastic car - I'm sure you'll enjoy! Regards Chris RRS - BV55 YZD

Roofrack's coming off for purely economical reasons, I'll be storing it in the garage though and have no intentions of selling, it's part of the car.

The wind noise and fuel 'economy' are horrific. How to remove it is going to be more of a challenge than I first thought though, having spent 10 minutes sat up on it this afternoon :w00t: BV55 YZE, Fleet No 19 - Thailand 2006 Now registered as YZE 481 in Melbourne, Oztralia.
