I recently sold a set of roof bars :(

Thule are by far the best. The system is modular. You have a choice of new or secondhand obviously.

Roof bars are the common part, with a 'T' track that the other bits attach to. The current trend is the 'Wing Bar'. I got a brand new pair to fit the width of my current car off Gumtree for £55. New they are around £90. You then need the foot kit that attaches to the bar and the car. Again, Gumtree, or Tredz who do interest free offers.

Once you have the bars you only then change for kits going forward.

Cycle racks are the 509 that fit in the 'T' track of the bars.

Roof boxes again clamp around the roof bar. The criteria here is length of what you want to carry. If long skis, long box. Had an Atlantic 780 for many years.

Another key aspect is to get everything 'keyed alike' so you have one key for everything. A good seller such as http://www.roofracks-roofboxes.co.uk ask for Roland, say Keith P sent you will key everything alike and keep a note for future purchases. You may get bundled deals.

I have used Thule since the 1970's for carrying kayaks, skis, bikes, boxes on the roof. Cycle, boxes on tow bars.

Never throw the roof bars and cycle carriers away. You can always attach to any vehicle with some though.
