Aero Roof Bars- non Volvo

If anyone is looking to buy a set Lidl's are selling at £24.99, probably not the worlds best but look ok, and a damn sight lot cheaper than anywhere else!

i've not seen the lidl ones, but genuine volvo one are only around £70-80 from a dealer. i have seen then sell on ebay for up to £100 though for second hand ones, as everyone expects them to be so much more expensive. so it you were only needing them short term, you could sell and make a profit.

The Volvo ones are not actually that good a quality. Further, not all Thule bike racks fit onto the Volvo bars. Came to use mine this half term for the first time, but had to put my Thule aero bars back on instead.

i may be wrong, but i thought the Volvo bars were made by Thule. correct me if i am wrong.

i only chucked my box with instructions out last week so can't check.

Thrown my box away as well. But no thule markings, and the bars are made in Poland.
