Bikerack On A Newage?

[col666]

Has anybody fitted a bikerack onto a Hawkeye STI? Can it be done or will i just bungy it to the spoiler?

Col i am sure there is a roof bars thread over on nasioc.

Check the Thule website to see whats available.

Yeah if you've got a decent sized spoiler and no tow bar.. Roof bars is the way to do it.. Amazingly you can get them for the saloon impreza!

I'm got a set for mine with the intentions of buying a cycle rack for it.. and a bike.. BUt just got hte roof rack just now..

Doesn't look "too" bad either when fitted...

Went onto the Thule website to get all the part numbers then after a few weeks managed to pick up all the bits seperately on eBay ended up paying about 50% less than Harfords prices!

I want one too for my Blobeye....I know I'd cycle more if I could get somewhere more interesting! Want to try Glentress sometime soon but no way of getting the bike there!

Not sure if the Hawkeye is the same, but for the bugeye saloon (possibly same for blob)

Thule 450 (Feet)

Thule 761 (Bars, basic black ones but do the job and much cheaper than the silver/"Aero" ones)

Thuie 1210 (Impreza Fitting Kit)

Two different types of decent Bike Rack:

Thule Proride 591

Thule Proride 530
