Love a pure grey, as far as roof rails go, mine came with a set of Rhino roof bars. Fairly heavy duty and about £600 new but very practical. Has a roller on the back end to help sliding stuff heavier on. Might be worth a look. I would put up a pic if I had any idea how to do that!

Roof bars and rails are only really for aesthetics the heaviest thing they carry is plastic plumbing pipe

As I already said above mine are only really for aesthetics I don’t need a big ugly roof rack 🤷‍♂️

My reply was to a message that was very generic about roof rails only being aesthetic and therefore not practical. The way it was worded didn’t seem you were talking about your own car, hence me being helpful and sharing what could be a useful alternative if you/someone reading would need something more heavy duty. But thank you for the insult Image

Exactly a year since I posted anything about this van, not much has changed, just general service until the engine decided to give up the ghost, I looked at scrapping it due to all I had in it , but the heart ruled the head and after searching high and low for engines , a complete 2014 van came up at the right money, so I had the engine out of that and also replaced a few small plastics and sunvisor clips that were missing or broken, I’ve also ordered a new podofo stereo 4g64gb wireless CarPlay, to replace my 1g32gb that’s becoming a bit laggy
