Do you find that your wind fairing marks your roof at all? On my last e46, I found wear to the clear coat where the rubber bumbers for the fairing contact the roof. Also, where did you get the no hole license plate holder for the front, looks sweet.

Nice work echo. I'm still considering stickering mine, but holding off for now.

I haven't noticed any marks under my Thule fairing feet yet. I'm sure its only a matter of time. I did not put the clear coat "tabs" under the feet on the touring. I will probably do this soon.

I wonder if a layer of wax/sealant would also help protect the paint.

Dane got his holder from a vendor... that I can never remember.

Several others on ZHPMafia.com have gotten the same holder (I believe at a cheaper price) from www.gominigo.com

I provided some feedback to GoMiniGo.com about the instructions for the Euro plate, discussed our interest in their product, and they provided a discount code. Enjoy!

I have lil clear pieces of scotch tape in the bumper area's to prevent wear.

No hole bracket...I picked up from ddmtuning. I believe gomingo has them as well.

Thanks guys. My prior e46 was always waxed and it still showed the wear. I will have to get those clear tabs to place under the bumpers. Tomorrow I will be riding so I will take some pics of my tri rig mounted up.

My Thule fairing came with the clear bra pieces on a white card. I think I still have them in the box.

My fairing rubs on the factory roof rails not the on the paint.

Bill, how loud is the Thule box? I'll be picking one up at some point.

I have a box also, if you have the sunroof open it is pretty loud but with it closed it's not so bad.

I need to pick up a rack so I can tote around my 9'6" surfboard. I would probably get more time in the water if I had it with me.

I can not drive around with the sunroof open with the rack on the car. Way to loud.
