    Estate bars from £20.

    5 door from £60.

    Plenty on ebay.

    Fix point? Is that the channel in the roof? About £100.

    Have you checked how much the Hyundai bars are?

    My wife has a KIA. The genuine accessory aero bars were cheaper than the Thule bars.

    Have a look at Roofbox.co.uk.

    I have used them a few times and always had very good service and price. The first time I got some roof bars I ordered cheap steel ones but they had non is stock so gave me a free upgrade to Aero ones instead :cool:.

    I have also used the above site many times, great service and they will sometimes buy your old ones back again if and when you change cars, they also sometimes have reduced returned stock.

    I have always used thule, they do the job for me
