Looks really good on your car.

I PMed the guy about how he made it as I absolutely love it! He didn't get back to me though. If you do something similar I'll be on your case too!

well i finally got round to adding some wood to the "25 quid" rack which after a tube of autosol, the wood, nuts and bolts, wood stain and varnish it is now more like the "55 quid roof rack" any ways:
