Thanks, I did have a look there as I bought some Atera bars from them for my E-Class. Good quality bars they are too. Just thinking that I’d prefer to buy some pre-owned bars and pay half the price of the Atera’s. I wanted to be out washing the car but the rain is gently falling over south Hants

Morning all, Picked up my new car a couple of days ago and now need to sort out a boot liner for the dogs and some roof bars for my bike. I’ve been trawling through eBay but can’t see many decent secondhand sets of bars, just dealers offering genuine Audi bars for large sums of money, or cheap looking bars that I wouldn’t trust. Has anyone got any knowledge of whether B8 model bars will fit? Alternatively has anyone found a decent set of non-Audi bars for something like £50 to £100? Oh, and one final question - I don’t suppose anyone has a set to sell? Thanks Erich.

No problem, Paul. I helped write the rules on SMAXOC and I'm sure they're similar. If I see some new ones I might just have to copy & paste... Rgds, Erich

Cheers Steve, I'll get myself over to Facebook in a while. To be honest you normally find me on FB rather than the main SMAXOC website but I think that I'm still the top poster, being the sad git that I am Cheers Erich

I've just agreed to buy an A4 Avant S-Line with the 190 PS TDi engine and the S-Tronic 'box. It's a glacier white car registered in July last year and I can't wait to get my hands on it in a week or so's time. First I have to return my E-Class back to MB Loving the virtual cockpit feature and discovered today that this will be my first car with adaptive dampers, so more fiddling there! I'm a long-term car meddler and I'm still an admin on the S-Max Owner's Club forum (& Facebook page) so if anyone has any questions about one of those then let me know. So first up will be the replacement of every filament bulb with SMD/LED's, windows to be tinted in the Spring and probably a damn good session with a clay bar, tar spot remover and a polishing machine. Photos once I get the car, wanted to download from the dealer's website but they've already taken down the advert for the car. Best wishes, Erich_Stinnes
