I can't remember who it was that posted here but they had fitted a leather case to the rack, secured and locked to it, and used the case as a boot fixed to the car, with their loose bags and boots inside etc. I saw this after selling mine on and thought it was a very, very good idea and utilised the case in the best possible way and of course they look right on the car as Steve has pointed out. Had I seen this sooner I might have modded mine in a similar way.
