I am thinking about getting a roof rack for my 1...anyone have pics of their 1 with a roof rack?

HEre is my set up with BMW base rack & Thule bars.

I love an agressive car with a roof rack for some reason. Throw one on a 135, mini cooper, STi, whatever...they all look awesome for some reason

^ Love that picture. I wish the OEM rack was a bit lower. Why do they have to be so damn high off the roof? Sheesh.

ryan.ferguson · 10-02-2011, 08:23 PM

how much is the roof rack set-up?

Yeh that's my biggest gripe with the OEM roof rack...I was thinking about getting a Thule rack because the they are lower

zamboni · 10-03-2011, 01:24 AM

Thule made the OEM rack and they pretty much same height for the crank set clearance.Base rack is $2XX and the individual rack is $159 each.

Haha thanks. It wasn't low enough for me and before I got rid of it I was planning on going from a 245/35 in the rear to a 225/40 and adding about a degree of camber and going about an inch lower, then getting a set of shorter springs in the front to drop me about another inch. Full polish on the wheels, and then I would have been done.

At that point, I might have been able to say JZ eat your heart out
