Debated ordering the US version (460R+RB47+4002) from REI, but at $355USD plus tax it was a no-brainer to order the UK version (4902+869+4917) from Roofrackshop for $233USD shipped including the exchange rate fee from my credit card company. Even if I waited for my next 20% off coupon from REI, it still would have been over $300USD with tax.

Just proves what a great resource this site is when you consider I would have had no clue on UK system.

You will be very happy. Looks better than the OE stuff and you can still use the Thule attachments

You will love this kit, fits perfect and make minimal wind noise. Many on this site have purchase from Roofrackshop! I also have the Thule Atlantis 1600 (from Amazon).

Pictures when you get/install, please? I am one of those simple-tins who order food off menus with pictures...

TIA

Will do. Rack came in on Thursday night (not bad considering I ordered last Friday) and I did not get a chance to install. Will shoot for this weekend. If you want to see how it will look prior to me snapping some pics, check out the below URL. This is what I used to decide on purchase.

Yes, I'm interested in the differences besides price as well.

You might want to look at this roof mount system.
I believe I would buy this one over the thule.

I heard you could only get yakima convertion clips for the rectangular bars. Has anyone tried them?
