Bike rack for the GTI

[tooch]

Thanks mate, yeah I actually don't mind how they look on the car!

If I wasn't so paranoid about wrecking the seals and causing dirt build up around the feet, I'd leave them on 24/7

BTW, I got them from Roof Rack Superstore in Yarraville in case you want to know

I've got pics with the kayaks on, but need to host em. Work internet won't let me upload em. Looks exactly like Tooch's (same coloured car too), just with bright yellow and blue kayaks on em.

Cheers for that mate much appreciated. I'll look them up and go have a look see. How much did you pay in total if you don't mind me asking so I have an idea of the continually diminishing funds in my bank account...

From memory it was $289 for the racks and $149 for the bike holder

With regards to fitting - I had a bad/dangerous situation about a fortnight after purchase: the rear mounted rack came off the car when going down the Brisbane to Gold Coast M1 (110km/h zone)

Fortunately, no one was travelling close and I didn't see anyone get cleaned up by it. I tried to find it later, but wet roads, night time and high speeds = *&^% that.

I'd called Rhino whom were quite good about it. In the end, they offered me a new rack and seat pack (for $75) and fitted it. Ultimately, the fitting instructions were not accurate (wording and illustration) regarding the placement of the feet. It's probably long winded to explain - let me know if you want me to try.

Here's a pic of my Rhino 2500's and Thule Prorack 530. Just a crappy phone pic sorry

Seriously though, is this thread a piss take?

What if you ever need to drive into a carpark/shopping mall?? Or drive under a bridge? Tear off the bike?

Or first bend or corner you take... bye bye bike.

all that for a $79 bike.

Obviously you don't know a thing about bikes, or you're just trying to be a smart arse.

That's a $1300 bike there, which is nothing high end, but not a kmart bike.

Go troll somewhere else.

EDIT: I missed your retarded questions above.

I (like most people) don't drive to shopping centres with a bike on my roof.
Also, 4x4's with bikes on the roof and Semi trailers which are twice the height of a polo with a bike on top, have no problem going under freeway bridges. I've driven several hours and around many bends with the bike on top, with no issue.

I don't know why I'm actually bothering to explain this to a retard like yourself, as you're obviously the one taking the piss.

He obviously enjoys being a twat and has nothing better to do with his time.
That's the only explanation for why somebody would spend time trolling a forum based on a car they don't own anymore.
