Hi folks,

Looking forward to our 1st camping trip on Friday in the Diablo 600 (getting quited excited!!!)

A friend has very kindly given me a roof box, anyone any links to buying the roof bars and fittings. I have a VW Passat 06 and the dealers wants £150, and Halfords want £110.

Many thanks

You cannot have everything. I mean, where would you put it?"

I just bought mine from Motoman last week where I got a better deal than Halfords. There are quite a few threads on here about boxes and racks, just do a search and it will give you lots of links.

Hi there! Try eBay.....they sometimes have some good deals on there. They have new and used! We have a Renault Scenic and you can get new bars on there for half the price and that includes postage. Hope this helps!
Have fun!

Was going to post roofbox company  but noticed last post includes link.  We got cycle carriers and they were very good.  Was also going to get roof bars but then relative picked me up a bargain from workplace
