Footpacks fitted fine on mine, i did question the difference on the instore chart with regards to an A6 and a allroad, he seemed to know what he was talking about the chap!!!!

I'll let you all know next tuesday when i come back from camping minus topbox, cloths, kids toys etc......

Anyone know what speed the roof rails rip off with a top box on then?
