Bike Rack Fairing on OEM?
Hey everyone,
I just bought some of the OEM aluminum base carrier bars and two Barracuda racks off of eBay.
I was wondering if you could put a fairing on these bars? I know that it isn't really needed on these OEM ones but i was really impressed with this setup on someones car on this forum.(couldn't re-find the post)- Loved the huge quattro sticker. Would say a thule or yakima fairing fit or is this a pointless waste of time and $$$?

Doesn't the newer Audi-supplied setup make use of the Thule 'aero' bars?
If your cross bars are what appear to be an aluminum extrusion - an elongated/oval shape viewed from the side, (curved top, flat bottom, with a channel on top to press in the rubber molding and slide in the trapped attachment T-bolts), I suggest this as an option.
Bolts right onto the newer Thule aluminum aero bars:
THULE #872 Fairing 44 in. (Large)

So if i found an old stylte thule fairing on eBay that would work... and it would need to be the....
large one also? I'd buy a new one but i don't really like the look of that crap on the ends, and i'd also like to have it less 'rigged'. Anywhere else i could find a god used old style one other than waiting around on eBay?
Thanks for your responses guys! Always helpful
