Greetings
I'm getting desperate for a set of Coupe Roof Bars!
I think I've tried everything short of contacting Italian dealerships, which might be the next step.

Anyone selling any? Or got some and don't use them?
Will pay a fair price!
Thanks all
Mart

You'll need to be very. very lucky. I've only ever seen one set for sale on here and the seller decided to put them on fleabay when he realised how rare they were. \:\)

IIRC they went for around £150.

I don't think you can buy them from a motor factors either!

We don't list anything.

There are a set of universal ones on ebay just now for 50 quid, type in 'Fiat Coupe roof' in to the Ebay search engine to have a look.

Would be interested in seeing if these fit and how stable they are. There again, the official fiat one is a bitch to fit anyway!

Thanks all so far for your comments....

Webbo, I saw those bars on ebay but I cant see how they would fit, given the design of the official bars. However would be interested to hear from anyone who has them fitted?

What are you trying to carry? If it isn't too heavy you could buy universal blow up ones.

Its for my surfboard and maybe a couple of bikes, not at the same time though.
I'll check out blow-up variety, thanks for response.

Hi Mart
my roof bars not for sale,not sure if you would
find it difficult to source bike rack attachment,
mine both fiat are 2 different designs,which slot
into the roof bars. best of luck with your search.

I guess the pic is just a generic one because there's no way they will fit if they look like that!

A few weeks ago Halfords were selling twin packs of their uprated bike carriers for £70 which JUST fit on the fiat aero bars which are rediculously wide. One more mm and it wouldn't have fitted though \:\)

Cheers Webbo
Need the roof bars in the first place though!
I've got a couple of bike carriers that I used for VW Golf Mk IV but if they don't fit I don't mind paying extra for new ones, I just desperately need the roof bars.

I've been looking on and off for a couple of months too, need them for the same reason, surf board and bikes.

Let me know if you find any others that fit ;\)

I had the original fiat roofrack let it go for under £100, didn't realise there was so much demand.
But they are so time comsuming to fit and you will have trouble not marking your roof in some way from it.
I'm on my second Coupe now (plus :D) but would not risk fitting fiats roofrack to my car. I surf but have bought a suction roofrack which you can find on the net.
had one years ago from a motorshow ended up having it nicked in Newquay from inside a mates car. Thought i wouldn't source one again but for boards they are great and so quick to fit. Also fit any car. highly recommended.
