ZS Exclusive (21) Roof bar recommendations?

[DiscoStu]

Hi all,

I'm about to take ownership of a 21 plate ZS Exclusive and I'd like to fit roof bars for carrying the occasional load on the roof. Does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally something that can be added and removed relatively easily. And I'm not that fussed over looks - substance over style!

Thanks in advance!

I was looking to get some too but I'm just going to go for the cheapest possible from eBay or AliExpress. More likely eBay that I can return if they don't fit well. They start from about £30. Find one, email the seller to check they are the right size for your car and see if you can return them if they don't fit. Other than that as @Tim Green says, MG shop, but that will cost dearly ...

I bought the Menabo RB1040 cheap and cheerful @ £28 at the time https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IRAEBSC/ref=pe_27063361_487055811_TE_3p_dp_1

Yes, I was looking at something very similar, thanks for sharing. They fit well, no complaints?

Do you keep them on all the time or only when needed? And last one: do you use any bicycle or whatever else attachments on them?

Fit well - there is a noisy whistle though at speed so I do not keep them on all the time. I tried tape and a looping rope with some success.

I've mounted two Thule 591 bike carriers using the U bolts without problem.
