Evoque Roof Bars w/o Roof Rails

Hi All,

I don't want to add the rails to my Evoque, so have been looking at a number of options to carry my bikes.

I've decided not to get a tow bar fitted, as LR and a 3rd party fitter said he need to cut away at the plastic bumper, even for the removal tow bar.

So I have been on ebay and found the following:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thule-Aluminiu...5ae66c12f5

and

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thule-Aerodyna...19d1f75120

What do you think and have any other Forum members got these fitted?

Thanks in advance

Arrived!!!: Range Rover Evoque SD4 Auto Dynamic Lux plus Privacy Glass and Premium Mats. Firenze Red, Black Roof and Style 6 Alloys, Dealer painted Black! DELIVERED: 14th September 2012 by Farnells Bradford.

I've got the first one you have a link to - takes a few mins to install and remove - fit very well and do a good job at a fraction of the price of the LR kit and without spoiling the lines of the car (IMO)

WB, does your car have the pano roof? I'm have the Thule roof bars too but haven't installed it as yet and concerned it will put too much pressure on the glass roof?

SD4 Dynamic, Fuji white 5 door
Pano roof, Adaptive Dynamics, style 7 wheels, auto tailgate, reverse camera, rear vents

Ordered: April 2012 | Built: June 2012 | Delivered: 14 August 2012

Yes I have the Pano rood and the bars don't go anywhere near it - unlike the LR ones. They simply clamp around the top of the frame.

Look at post #14 on this thread -> http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-Roof-rail...thule+bars

Go for the Thule Wing bars - they're better looking, more aerodynamic and I think they suit the Evoque better.
