Robbie,

Any pictures of your car with the boot rack?

Would love to see it too. Also, would like to know if you use it, or whether it's just for looks?

Cheers

Frosty

The best site for 206cc pictures, videos, etc is http://www.206cc.free.fr. It's vitually all in French but that doesn't matter if it's just the pictures you're after.

Rachel, Frosty,

Sorry, I keep meaning to get round to taking some pictures of my car with the boot rack - yes the rack certainly looks the business on my black Pug and the roof can still be raised and lowered provided no weight is on the rack at the time.

I must admit to putting it on for looks only and its never actually been used. Ralf Korners site which Derek has mentioned I think is:- http://www.ccfreun.de

You can see some pictures of a silver Pug with boot rack (though my boot rack looks better than in these pictures), if your still interested, the direct link for boot rack pictures is:- http://www.ccfreunde.de/bastelecke_gepaecktraeger.htm

P.S. Its worth waiting for all the pictures to download, especially the ones at the bottom.

Robbie

i must admit that i find it quite odd that someone would buy and fit a boot rack for asthetic reasons only. not having a pop or anything, just strikes me as odd, not a boot spoiler i can understand....

I take your point Paul, but if you saw how nice the gleaming chrome boot rack goes with my black paintwork, especially with the roof down, you may be converted as were the people who commented on it.

Oh yes, and I negotiated it free with a windstop during negotiations to buy the car.

cheers, Robbie.

Paul, seems good idea to colour code, can you let us know how you got on with your k&n filter, and if your pleased with it.

Thanks, Robbie

I ordered my windstop yesterday (got a new interest free credit card - shopping frenzy!) and while the bloke in sales said it's next day, parts said it's on backorder and will 1-3 weeks. Â£205.11. I asked where the extra Â£5.11 came from, and he didn't have an answer...

Plus I ordered a spacesaver spare which I'm picking up today (sun's out!), as stupid kids are leaving broken glass around the car park at work. Then husband says if I get one puncture, that's fine, but what if I get FOUR? Oh, hadn't thought of that

well if you get 4 then you get to check out the AA guy in his uniform - lol

I'd rather set fire to the kids and watch the firemen with their hoses
