Roof Box

I've got an old and fairly small Halfords Roofbox. It's in good condition but beginning to show signs of age.
My problem is - I have a new car with new bars, which my fixings are too small for. I therefore need 8mm U-bolts, T-bar fittings or a new box that comes complete with fittings (I could buy in France next week - budget boxes are at 99Euros).
I can't decide!
:confused:

Any advice?

    Thanks hewho's but I'm going 2.5 thousand miles at up to 80 mph - I don't really trust zipties and some rope!

    Thanks, I'll try B&Q.
    I really begrudge paying the £15 - £20 for a set in Halfords or the Renault dealer especially when I can get a new box for £80 in France.
