Just wondered if anyone has the Mont Blanc Vista 450 450ltr Roof Box
I need some advice on whether this would fit well on a citroen c3 desire. I'm thinking about getting this box alongside a set of roof rails for the C3 to better allocate the space needed when taking our camping stuff.
The one concern I have is there appears 3 mounting points and yet i'll only have 2 bars.
I'm really new to roof racks / boxes (and driving in general) and wondered if anyone can offer any advice, views, etc.
We bought this roofbox a couple of months ago. I'm not sure how big a Citroen C3 is but the roofbox easily fits on our Golf which is a medium sized car. We only have 2 bars on our car and the box screws in place using U shaped bolts which go underneath the bar and fix in place on the inside of the box. Sorry I can't think of a better way to describe this but anyway my point is that you only need 2 bars.
It's the only roofbox we've ever had so I can't compare with any others but we have no complaints with ours. It's sometimes a bit tricky to lock but I think that's down to the amount we try to cram in it.
Hi
If you are looking at the 3 indents in the side/bottom of the box these are NOT the mounting points there are only 2 mounting points on this box the main thing you need to check is this
IMPORTANT: BEFORE PURCHASING PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ROOF BARS IS BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING TO FIT THE ROOF BOX 560MM AND 1000MM
There is a pic of it fitted here Vista 450

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
You will soon fill it up weve gone from a 350l to a 450l and now onto a 580l dont think we can go much bigger
Will probably take you half hour + to fit first time working out which holes to use etc and its easier with 2 people one to hold the u bolts up while the other puts on the nuts. Next time it will only take about 5 minutes as you will know where everything goes. Also a good idea to block off any open mounting holes with tape and if your radio ariel touches the box tape a bit of foam on it to stop it drumming on the bottom of the box.
Some good deals around on the Vista at the moment as well
