They are advertised on E-bay, OEM ones at £250 and copy ones around £150.... has anyone bought any copy ones and if so what are they like??.. whats the finish like etc

Someone must be buying them?... or may be they dare not come on here and say so??..

A few people have bought them. I believe they are very close to the original ones. Do a search and you shall find my friend! Cuatro Por Cuatro

Mmmm some reports are not too good then... Anyone with first hane experiance?... Th eplastic covers appear to be the main issue?...

I have a set of eBay reproduction ones.

Fit and finish are both good and after-sales service is excellent. They sent me a missing rubber seal as soon as I called them.

I have noticed a bit of corrosion where the cross bar beets the side rails on both sides. Looks like different metals not getting on too well with each other.

For the money, that are fine. garioch43

Hi.. thanks for the reply.... how long have they been on... I just sold my 09 GS with OEM bars from new and they were perfect... I would have swaped them over but they are not a removable item really without making the old LR look bad...
do you carry much on them??..

Only fitted them at the end of November.

I've got a pair of LR cross bars fitted to them, which supports a fairly big roof box.

Apart from that, I've only used them to take home a long bit of skirting board from B&Q.  garioch43

Wow... they shouldn't be coroding already... as I say, mine were 4 years old and still looked perfect....,

Mmmm may hang out for some LR ones....

Any idea why LR diferentiate between sunroof cars and non-sunroof.. where as the after market say they will fit all?...

Update on my corroded cross member.

I emailed the guy who supplied the kit and within 3 days had a replacement part delivered completely free of charge.

Excellent customer service! garioch43
