FYI - the Thule aero bars are 120cm long - they are wide enough for both the Bora and Octy II.

Not sure if this helps you though...

If it fits a MK IV Golf then I would take a guess that they would also fit a MK I Octavia, but not the MK II.

Just a guess though.

Correct, however the 120cm aero bars do fit the estate with roof rails.

As I said earlier, not sure if this helps....

Didn't realise we were talking estates, sorry. It's because i've been sorting out a pair for my Octy hatchback.

If you have Thule bars, then whoever buys them will also need the correct foot-pack / clamps / adaptors.

The above are specific to each car, so your bars may fit cars other than Octy.

(Assuming of course that you have Thule bars in the first place... )

As I said I would guess at bora/golf MK IV, octavia MKI and possibly the last leon too.

I would think the only ways to find out are to try them or to get a part number for the bora ones and then a part number for the other cars versions. If they match, jobs a goodun.
