Thanks in advance.

Btw, I am assuming you use the Thule Aeroblade (the ones with more space):


I use the Aeroblade Edge (flush mounted ones).

I went for the Thule set up over the Audi genuine as I felt the quality was so much better. The overall look was much better with the Wingbar Edge in black and the Motion XT XL box in gloss black to go with the BOP on the car.

The whole set up was great for our family trip away using all 7 seats. No bags or cases anywhere in the car.

What color is that (I'll assume you aren't in the US) and is that car lowered or adaptive suspension? Looks awesome...

Thanks Pete. I'm in the UK. It's Daytona Grey Pearl which really does change colour in different lights. It's on adaptive suspension sitting in Dynamic. (Always looks better for the photos.....ha ha)

Daytona is my favorite color. I wish they had brought it to the US as it would have looked awesome being wrapped matte because I would never buy a matte paint car.

We have running boards as an option here or can be added as part of a pack. Style Pack is running boards, pan roof and ambient lighting which is what I went for.

Running boards are an option in the US with a couple stipulations.
