Roof Rack Advice please!

[CockneyPlayboy]

Do any of you have any experience of the products below? I cant see that much difference between the Karmann Konnection 2 bow roof rack and the Creative Eng version apart from the price!...

Karmann version...

....and the Creative Engineering one...

The Creative one comes in more expensive at £315 (polished finish) whereas the KK one is £269 (polished finish).

I'm interested in your input because i am contemplating changing mine (see below) for one of the above versions....

I have the creative version and love it! would buy another one at a heart beat if it wasnt so pricey! really not sure on what the difference is, but would love to know as I am after another! 8)

Im just making a rack at the mo (yeah i know im tight) and will get some pics up when im done. I was thinking of painting it pastel white to match my roof, does anyone have any pics of a white rack? im sure ive seen some before.

The Devon roofrack that came with my bus was white - although it's mostly brown now!!

decided to paint it silver today as easier to patch any rusty bits after. Putting oak slats on tommorow

Slats on job done, best thing about it was that it only cost me about £20 and a fair few man hours to make, frame is from an old sofa bed and the oak is from a pub bar that i've recently shortened!

Nice job - looks superb!

I like the fact that it appears to sit a lot lower (closer to the roof) than usual - nice one!! 8)

CP i think you,ll find that Karmann Conn .. Ection dont advertise there prices including the Vat . So vat @ 17.5% . £ 269.00 plus 17.5% = £316.075

Not so cheap now Huh

Get the creative one dude its money in the bank :mrgreen:

Thats a sweet "rack" you've got there :lol: :lol: :lol: (sorry I couldn't resist)

Imho it's better that you painted it silver, it wouldn't have looked as good in white.

I knocked them up myself after taking some pics at weston super mud and then copying, seems to work ok.
