cheers boss, i know its probably THE most tedious question but i cant ditch my car and get a new one til im sure...

[madmunky]

Boots are pretty solid on our cars, not like a MG/Rover when it would bent in half if you tried it (No joke, I had a MG ZS and close the boot on a box and it almost snapped!)

Look under Holden Monaro 2dr Coupe. Its the same parts listed under the Holden Commodore VZ Statesmen also.
Based on the part numbers you might be able to get the components over here...?

ahh, thankyou.

right, im buying one, in black.

[MadMaxHSV]

A Monaro or a roof rack? I'm sure black racks go faster also

Can anybody suggest a nice red chequered rug also for the back seats and some of those plastic wind deflectors that go over the top of the windows

[blueg33]

I have used Thule racks for 20 plus years. They are pretty muchcthe best available and their website has an application section where you enter details of the car and it tells you exactly which kits you need. You can then order them from Halfrauds or other Thule suppliers. I tend to do a google search and find the supplier thats the cheapest. Its worth buyingthe locking kit. Once you have the bars, locking kit etc, you can just buy the foot kit to suit different cars, so if you change your car the rack is not redundant (unlike manufacturer branded ones)

Simples!!

Hurry up and buy one, then you can post the pictures up. No, not the roof rack, the car! Welcome to the club.

A nice hat for the driver also, and suggestions of where to get the 'nodding dog' for the back window?
