Cargo Box Audi A3/S3 Sedan Questions

[onerazorsharp]

Hey Gang,

I've been looking and looking for good pictures of thule/yakima/etc cargo boxes on Audi sedans to see which size and/or shape to go with. Best I can find are these two images, 1 of which is kind of a joke...



I like this look, but it'd be nice to get more of a side profile shot as well. I don't want the thing hanging over the windshield.


There's also the brochure they send showing an a3 with what looks like a Thule force cargo box - posisble a large?

Honestly, though it's not an Audi, I'm wondering what this Whispbar WB700/701 black would look like on the Audi Sedans. It looks awesome on this M5.






The only issue with the WB700/701 is that it's 10/13 cubic feet of space - and definitely no fitting skis.

Someone Please Healp with some pics of audi sedans with cargo boxes.

Inno makes a nice box. I'm in the market too. Would like to bring a couple surfboards to the beach and keep the car clean.

Here is a pic of the Inno low
Pro, Carbon. It's $6xx on Amazon with free shipping. I plan to get this one, and possibly wrap it.

I like this look on the hatch - but all the cargo boxes look way better on hatches. It's probably positioned forward so the hatch doesn't bump it when opened, so it'd probably be farther back on a sedan. But still - not sure this won't look too long on the sedan.

I do have that thule bike rack though - so that's sweet to see it side by side since I'll be doing the same.

I looked up the inno low profile box as well. I like the front hangdown to give it more of a low profile look. Even though I have the Aero Blades on my car (OEM) I think I might also get a wind faring to give it more of that connected look.

Still wondering what length would be the most functional and still look good.

Based on some mr-box.com images and some mspaint:

Inno shadow 14 - black/panther black S3
Note that the image cuts the bottom of the box a bit.


SportRack Horizon L - same car


Whispbar wb700 - same car


Obviously won't be exact as far as height on car and positioning. Did my best to paste on the cross bars then place the cargo box on top.

Turns out the whispbar wb series is like 70lbs empty... Not sure I like that idea, though it does look nice.

Supposedly wb can fit 160cm skis, but that's some shorties. Other two can fit up to 178-190 I think. Going to test fit at a local shop tomorrow.
