Ladders = nooooooo..
Get a random steelie and tyre, wire brush it to death and let it rust,
And old fuel jerry can or something,
Skate board as said above,
plus any other random crap....

Can't people read? The ladders were just to get them back to my house as we had an attempted burglary! So the ladders are for fitting some security lights for the house. They won't be going back on!
I've got an old large metal jerry can to go on, just need an old style suit case, a spare steel wheel and an old skateboard and possibly a cargo net to go over it all

you know what would be uber cool ? if you had small ladders going from the bottom of your boot to the roof, kind of like a 4x4
when i first saw ladders in the title i thought this is what you had done

Ladders up the back would be a step too far!
Jules, i've had a look for an old Pepsi/Fanta/Coca Cola cool box on Ebay but can't find one. Any ideas where else i should look?

Will there be anything put on the roof rack, or will it just be put on top of the car. Just wandering as most of the vag people put something on it
Yeah, i've got an old metal 20 litre jerry can in army green thats slightly rusty. Just need a spare banded steel and a cargo net, job done
Seen a few that put old suitcases on, The old leather type ones, Can look very cool is done right
