Thule - Low profile roof bars

I've got a set of these for the X6 now.  Thule Wingbar Edge series.  Not sure how long they have been available, although Thule indicates for a few weeks only.  Not cheap - probably to being new still.

Various cars are covered by the range and they are almost silent even at motorway speeds.  Comes as a complete system so you don't need to work out which bars and then which 'foot pack'.  They're held on with a thick band of some rubber/plastic which is tightened with the supplied torque wrench.

Takes our Excellence XT roof box with no additional adapters needed.

And before anyone says anything, I know the car needs cleaning!

Looking good. Obviously I will only be able to judge the noise if you lend / hire them to me for a week in august :)

Unfortunately they'll be between the roof box and roof elsewhere at that time, and so not available for independent tests...... :P

But I'll let you know how quiet they are.

To quote 535dboy **** off!  :P

I was thinking of getting the roof box resprayed to match.  It's black and titanium at present.  It will look very nice in Man Pink and Titanium........ >:D
