    Has anyone put a roof rack and cargo basket/tray on their C? I want to do this but would like to see some examples first.

    I want to eventually mount flood lights on the roof rack too. Please tell me someone has already done this

    So you bought one of the most aerodynamic, fuel efficient cars in the world and you want to mount stuff in the air stream to defeat that.

    And I am the comedian?


    I am guessing there is a reason no vender is selling what you hope to buy. Niche Market

    You could try fabricating with these

    I listed parts in post #5 so you could be the first, I doubt there are 'other people'.

    I must say, ftl has hit a gold mine of roof bars!

    Yep, but it gets 46 MPG, not 24. (and you can see why I bought a v)
