davemclaren Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'd just research what I need/want/what fits my car and buy online rather than buy from halfrauds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb102 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ive got a Thule roof box and bars to suit a VW Caravelle here you can have for £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sausage Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I just used roofbox.co.uk to get a rack, box and bike carriers. Brilliant service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
