Roof Bars And Roof Boxes For C3

[Igloo_Vindaloo]

Hi

Has anyone fitted roof bars other than Citroen's to a C3? Any recommendations?

Also, anyone fitted a roof box?

Any idea how long it could be before:
a ) You can't open the boot :o
b ) It looks stupid :D
c ) It takes off :o

Seems like the curved roofline could make for interesting aerodynamics.

Any recommendations would be welcome, photos even more so!

Cheers,

Tim

Further,

Does anyone know if roofbars from a Xsara will fit a C3?

I got some Citroen roof bars, which are pretty nice, and an old Karrite box (about 300 litre).
It looks a bit rough, but not too stupid.

It is very high, and difficult to reach without standing on a box or door sill, unless you're tall.

Roofboxes can actually extend a long way back on a C3, because the boot never reaches anywhere vertical when open (try it!).

Haven't tried it at speed yet. :(
