But when it gets bad,

Love it even more now and the roof bars gives me an extra wood.

But i'll try running without now the wings on and see how it looks
Try rear wing is obviously a continuation of the roof line, but the roof line is broken up by the roof bars, so it just doesn't look right to me. Obviously I'd keep them if I used them, but otherwise they'd be gone. As they say though... You car and all that :roll:

;-) :P

I thought the car looked like a sausage without the roofbars. But with the rear wing now flowing off the back. Like you say, should sort that. I just need to get some roof clip thingys that cover the holes that will be left from where the bars bolt in. Then I'll try running it without the bars and see how it looks

Isn't it also economical to run without roof bars (less weight you're carrying around means less petrol you use)?

Probably less wind resistance too

It's the wind resistance that plays the biggest factor, but I'm sure yours will have some aerodynamics to them. It's usually universal after-market jobbies and the left to right bars that cause a noticeable drag.
