bought thule bars/feet from a lovely chap on ebay for 26 quid, fitted them in 5 mins (once I figured out the twist!). They feel and look the "mutts proverbials"
:woohoo:

That's a really nice looking Forester, I like the colour scheme :rock:Thule alluminium aero bars.
No close up pics but they can carry a fair weight.

To save interested parties "standing on heads" :biggrin::biggrin:Sheffscoob. YOU HAVE THE WRONG FOOT PACK. The rubber inserts which rest on the rails are wrong for the car. Will see if i can get some part numbers off mine and post 'em up with some pics later on.
What do you mean? I had a look at their website and the bars don't look like having a bigger diameter than the Thule ones I've got. Can't you use the foam pads that have a cut and are surrounded by a sleeve that attaches around them with velcro?One thing to bear in mind though, profile looks the dogs, but is winglike and thus if you are a surfer the standard Foam pads used on square bars will not fit the 110mm profile and so I have another problem to overcome now

No I think is my answer, The photos on the website are deceiving the actual bars are quite wide, mcuh wider than the set of Audi Roofbars Ihave off my old A6 and the std velcro and foam offerings will not even get close to the Whispbar as they stuggled with the Audi Aero Bars. I'm sure there is a way around it, but need to the damn rain to stop to get out there and check out my thoughts. Just thought I would piont it our really.
Still glad I spent the extra on them. Please stop raining this Saturday.
