Anyone interested in a roof rack colour swap?

Sounds too easy, would the process be something similar to what's outlined here ?

Sure is. Although, he uses a fancy tool to remove the covers on each end of the rail, but in effect you can gently remove them with your hands.

Next time I take the covers off mine, I'm definitely going to get some kind of fancy tool like that.
I bent my fingernails back. It was an amazingly horrible experience.

Search for 'Trim tools' on ebay. Meant for interior stuff. Get a set for a few bucks.

Can you post a few pics of your rails?
I might swap you

don't have any good pics of them at the moment, and i can't take one right now as i've been using public transport to work. if you really want i can take a few shots on a dslr when i get home. i'm assuming you want to see a close up of the finish of the rails? it's a matte black, no scuffs or marks. never attached anything to them. my octy is 7 months old. always garaged and cleaned meticulously. comes from a smoke and pet free home

just thinking about future wheel options, i may want to swap you if you're still keen

DSLR pics would be awesome.

I'm slowly going through the process of making all the silver things black.
Next on the list is roof rails... And roof, of course. ;D

Perfect.
6mo old with nothing ever attached - haven't bought anything to attach to them, yet!!
Apart from a bit of potential bird (Trees at clients houses ) they're perfect.

Can post pics tomorrow, if you like.

Can they just be properly painted?
