Can they be made?
Wanting a roof rack, not really for functional use but for looks lol
found this on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Premium-Roof-Bars-Vauxhall-Nova-4dr-Saloon-85-93_W0QQitemZ160397211397QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars Parts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item25586b3705#ht_ 2445wt_1167) and was thinking :eek: :eek: :eek: (expensive)

it can be cool, but not the bmw123 one, it needs to be a long and low one.

Sorry, not cool however you put it.
Roof racks on modified cars are a pointless addition that labels your car as having an owner trying overly hard to fit in with the latest trends, therfore a fashion victim. Henley's T-shirts are that way! /\

Still amused at how the brown Nova stole the centre cover slot and the V8 stag gets thrown down the bottom lol
