    I am getting Thule wing bars fitted in a few days time so will post a pic with the new rack on my black GTI.

    Also going to get 2 x Thule 591 bike carriers on there too. I'm sure the GTI will look quite comical with 2 upright bikes on top! I dont have a garage at the moment so no chance of the dreaded bike vs top of garage collision.

    I had aero bars on my Subaru so I just got the feet pack for the polo. They are rather noisy. They never made a sound on the subby with a roof box but on the polo without anything attached its very noticeable. May have to upgrade to the wings. Or find a good deflector.

    Since we're posting up pics of polos with stuff on the roof, here's my babies - all three of them:

    Thule Aero Bars - don't notice any real increase in noise without the bikes. Two bikes doubles the fuel consumption though...

    One is a 2007 GT DHi - The big ugly white thing.
    The other is a 2006 GT Chucker 2.0

    The Downhill rig weighs in at about 18Kgs, I haven't actually weighed the hardtail. I'd be surprised if it came in at more than 11Kgs though...

    The fuel consumption is right on 8L/100Km with those two suckers up there! Really messes with the aero...

    Oh, and they're wingbars, not aero...
