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!

Any advice?

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."Beer. Now there's a temporary solution." Homer (Simpson)0 -
I am looking for my first roof box and these start from £79.99 if you buy online https://www.motor-world.co.uk. Mind you it doesnt mention any fixings, will they come with the box? I have fctory roof bars on my car and just assumed it would magically attach...errmmm!0
