Had a butchers, aftermarket Paddy Hopkirk kit only. Want the OE bars as I'm concerned about scratching the paintwork with aftermarket bars.

I got my THULE roofbars from Halfords for about £75.

There's a guy selling some on ebay as well: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-THULE-ROOF-BARS-FOR-ROOF-RAILS-SKODA-INC-FABIA_W0QQitemZ8041227704QQcategoryZ9885QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Don't know if they're what you would class as OE though.

My OE ones are Thule. As long as they are designed to fit in the roof anchorages you'll be fine.

The ones you'd linked to there, appear to be bars that attach to existing rails on a fabia estate. Don't think they fit into the slots in the hatchback's roof.

I've got some generic Paddy Hopkirk bars that I could just get the matching feet for, but I've heard various horror stories about non-OE bars killing the paintwork - if it's a choice between £75 for Thule bars, and £100 for Skoda, then I'd go with the Skoda ones, just for peace of mind - unless there's no difference between the two? :confused:

Okay. Mine actually fit over the top of the doors but i've never had a problem with them taking paint off or anything with the times i've used them for a roof box, etc.
