Roof rail swap

[ian.f]

Hi Forum,
Looking for someone who can remove & re-install roof rails on the B9 avant, in the Bridgend South Wales area please?
I have painted the chrome rails but want to replace them with the BE rails (which I’ve already sourced), so just looking for a fitter to do the work!
Any suggestions welcome.
thanks.

I can do but it's a track down which I'm happy to do as long as it's economical, it's a days job all in tbh, ping a WhatsApp if interested.

Yes, black edition. I had them from a scrapped B9 but when they arrived they were in rubbish condition. Snapped/missing screws etc.
So I’m back to my original plan (before painting them, or considering BE replacements) and wrapping them.
Who’s doing yours? What are you paying (if you don’t mind me asking)?

Having them done by "slug" in pontyclun. £150. I can post pictures Monday once done if you want. Comes highly recommended so fingers crossed

They look awesome, but I'm guessing they wouldn't really take to being "used" with a roof rack.

Thanks. No idea. I don't have roof rack so wasn't a concern for me.

Absolutely makes sense, I have to keep reminding myself that mine is a family car sometimes!
