Ya I got a Thule roof rack from Preformance Cycling. I think Yakima has one for the A3 now also. I've seen a few cars with the Yakima and it looks more streamlined than the Thule but from some discusions, there seems to be some complaints with noise. The Thule that I have doesn't make any noise, even at 110mph. I didn't buy the wind sheild because someone at the shop said that it bangs around too much.

Thanks Audinam & T2T, your A3 looks nice. Other questions for you guys are ... Does A3 have some kind of roof rails like the A4 Avant has? If it does, then where to get them? My wife likes those roof rails more than the cross bar racks.
