Farad Roof bars

[camthescot]

Not got my rapid spaceback yet but am planning to get some roof bars.

 

Has anyone come across these roof bars and are they any good?

 

Farad roof bars of eBay both steel and aero.

I am also interested in any other inexpensive options either new or second hand and happy to take any suggestions.

 

Thanks

Panno roof or not ?

just standard roof - it's an SE Tech.

I looked at the Farad bars for a while. In the end got lucky and got a genuine set of ŠKODA bars cheap.

If you do go for the Farad ones (which seem fine, if a little universal), I strongly recommend you get the Aero bar version with the centre insert. Provides better options for attaching roof boxes, bike racks, ski mounts and more:

Thanks for the advice Chris! I don't take delivery for a few weeks yet and have asked to hold it till January so it is a 2017 car. I am hoping a genuine set pops up for me to buy.
