Yup - definitely agree on the missile launcher comment..
However I still think its much more pleasing to the eye than a standard luggage rack - especially on a curved shape of 5exi.. And once removed you have to stare really hard at the GRP panels to notice a cut that I made to accomodate the straps.
Nothing underneath to protect the gelcoat/paint - can't see any need as the bags are made of some sort of leather lookalike vinyl which is soft enough and smooth enough not to damage the paintwork. Once strapped the bags don't move eevn a little bit so there is no 'rubbing' involved that would wear off a layer of paint..
