Wrapping Roof Bars

Post by concept » Sat Feb 11, 2017 1:47 pm

Anyone had any done?

Mine were attempted by a professional wrapping firm yesterday, and the results are, ummm.....well, not very good.

Any tips, tricks or recommendations, not too far from Milton Keynes?

Painting might be a better option, I've seen someone on here remove them totally from an E53, not sure how involved removing them from the E70, it would make them easier to paint.
Trouble is whatever you cover them with would be easily damaged if you were to use roof bars in the future.

It's the aggro/cost of removing that we are trying to avoid.

No intention of using roof bars, do not worried.
