Planning a wee road trip late summer so thinking of popping down to Halfords to get them to fit roof bars and a box on my motor. Anyone got a better idea on where to get them? I have no knowledge of such things.

I'd just research what I need/want/what fits my car and buy online rather than buy from halfrauds.

We got some a few years ago. Turns out its not as straightforward as youd think. You have to buy the bars which can be different depending in your car. You then have to buy the correct bracket bits (feet?) that attach the bars to the roof rails and finally the box itself.

 

Gumtree is your friend in such situations.

Sounds complicated so I might just pay to get Halfords to fit them for me. ?

I just used roofbox.co.uk to get a rack, box and bike carriers. Brilliant service. 

 

We are waiting on our bars/bike carriers arriving from them any day now.

True Project Manager style. 

 

Get others to do all the work then claim you did it all yourself when someone asks you about it.

 

:lol:
