The roof box is the Thule Motion XT Alpine.
It holds quite a bit and the slightly higher profile of the lid at the front means the capacity is practical.
I steered away from the Thule Dynamic L as the ultra low profile of the front of the box limits the space.
That said, I doubt there is much in it, I am sensitive to practical aspects of the roofbox as I previously had a Packline roofbox and although it was beautiful - it didn’t hold much!!!

Re: Roofboxes
I have the Thule bags, x4 so the front nose one is shaped for the Dynamic, works for me,
Re: Roofboxes
If anyone is looking for roof bars, I have a used once Thule feet Kit for the RS6/A6 Avant, 4001 & 753. You'd need to buy bars, I had their wing bars; Thule WingBar Evo 118 which you can get for under £80.

Looks really nice - colour scheme works too.Christiaan wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 3:50 pmJust fitted Thule Vector 430L roof box on wing bar edge rack.
I’d be interested to know how you get on with the roof box at speed.
Due to the lightweight (but strong) construction of my roof box the nose gets a little flappy; although it is clear there is no additional risk if the main frontal area is being pressed down by the passing airflow, it is a little disconcerting (mainly to other road users to be honest).

The Vector is a chunky bit of kit, weighing in at 30kg.
It certainly feels very solid and I’m hoping that the dipped down front section will help with airflow.
