Body/Trim: 70: - Roof Bar or not

I can't make my mine up what I want to do. I have 3 option here so getting the parts isn't the issue.

Stick with the early V70 roof rail
Use later (99-00) roof rails
Have no roof rails

Do you use the roof rails? If not, then get rid. If you do use the roof rails then get the later versions.

I dropped on them yesterday by accident. Was only supposed to be getting a bonnet, ended up filling my boot with parts.

I'd really like to put the roof-rail-less V70 versions on my 850. The lip that directs water away from the side windows is the main reason. I work in Sheffield and notice you're in Rotherham - do you know of somewhere near there that has some V70 parts?

Sadly, I don't think there is anyone local.

Shem Green (Shemtek near Newark) is breaking a black V70, Thats the one I took the bits off.

Duncan Cassidy (DunkinBiskits) may have something in but he is in Liverpool

Kev Smith (Minty) always seems to have cars in, He is in Derby
