Fitted the Thule Force XT Small roofbox on RWG low profile cross bars.
Neater look than the Thule bars but only 50Kg load limit compared to the Thule bars that are rated 100Kg.

Still has 35kg load available as the box only weighs ~15Kg.
This is plenty for me.
Full 75Kg available if the Thule bars are used.

Looks good to me
:D

Yep.
Really like it.
I can get it on and off the roof on my own, and it doesn't seem to affect the wind noise and drag much at all - Aerodynamics (drag) seems better than on the higher Thule bars (a little bit).

Thanks lads, yeah its been a tough one this time, had disaster after disaster, the bodyshop I used has f**ked up my bumpers big time, completely ruined the front one, and terrible fitment on new back one so I had to revert back to the standard for now until my wallet recovers!
Looking at using TMG next time, their prices are astronomical but they guarantee fitment, which is all that matters to me after these utter heartbreaks!
Moment of truth came when she rolled out the garage as the colour always looks so different under artificial lights, in the sun she's even better.
Thanks to the bodyshop there's still work to do. But at least it's back on the road! Image

That purple caddy above is stunning, makes me feel funny in my tummy
(but also vastly inadequate)

Simple but great little upgrade on mine, courtesy of a top bloke in Newport

Cruise and leather MFSW added to mine, makes it a hella more pleasant driving experience

Been a bit slow on the caddy the last month, had other jobs to sort, but have managed to get a few bits done. Have got rear camera fitted, had rear lights and a pillar windows tinted, painted front and rear badges, modified and painted the alltrack arches for the rear bumper, also put some more clear coat on my carbon exhaust tips, as they were a little dull. Also managed a quick repair on a mates caddy side skirt that he hit on a curb, had to get sorted for him as he was using it for his wedding, all sorted in time for the big day 👍🏼. Next jobs, fit shortened rear axle and the alltrack arches
