F56 with yakima rack thule hyper cargo




I forgot to share pictures of the rack and box I have on my mini.

Mine came without rails so the q tower and q 128 clips are the only thing I'm aware of. I had most of these parts on my mini van so besides the clips I moved them over

In thinking about getting the Orange pinstripe on the box

i believe that the sport rack system also fits the mini the reason is that the q128 part fits other cars, and the sport rack fits those same cars.

It is actually better and cheaper it comes with the whole set up for 145 literally the price of the q towers alone and then the bars are square which is a more intelligent design( them worst possible design for a bar trying to hold something is round actually) and it comes with keys and the bars have the measurement on them. basically its WAY better than the yakima system which is the 20 year old model
might not be as universal in the way they package it.

even though no one has done this yet, it doesnt make sense that it doesnt work...

plus fit kits cost 10 dollars for 4.

yakima fit kit costs 40 for 2.... so i went over all the pluses of this sportrack thing, but i spent money to use my existing stuff anyway.



(145 price is as target let me add)
