Please could some one tell me is it the Mercedes Vito rack in the Fiamma Range that fits the bongo. I have purchased the VW T4 one and it does not seam to fit the same as the pics i have seen here. Dont want to buy another without getting correct 1.

I fitted the Fiamma VW T4 to mine on Friday. No problems whatsoever. I can only imagine you having a problem if you have a spoiler on the tailgate.

I'll take some pics of mine if that would help. Also checkout the Dent meet pics as I noticed that Mr Maynard had his VW T4 rack on view.

Thanks for reply. Yes have got spolier but i am aware i need t cut it to allow the Tubes to fit under it as AVA do. I note you have not used the feet on the bumper? I have returned the T4 Rack and ordered the Vito one as the top Tubes are at a different angle which i have noted from further pics found through this forum. This looks to be the better option for a neater cut into the spolier. Spoiler is definitely living up to its name!

Thanks Robin i order this one from them yesterday and yes i got a spoiler which is why i did not like the way the T4 Rack sat at the top of the tail gate. If i had not got spolier i would probably fitted it. Vito Rack arrives friday i will start again with this one and see how i get on.

No they don't quite reach. Don't see it as an issue though. Hope the Vito version installs ok for you.

I see the Vito carrier is about 30 quid more than the VW T4 version with the quick rails sitting higher as well. Not sure I would want mine any higher than they are as the bikes take some lifting as it is (and I'm no short-arse). Mind you if it gets you over the spoiler problem then I suppose considering the overall price, 30 quid is a drop in the ocean.
