Roof boxes.
Anyone know of a good source for Roof boxe's?
Been looking round but there expensive, trying to avoid Halfords and the likes of Eghay for one,

Not looked on gumtree tbh, small ones seem to pop up fairly cheap ish,
Idealy : looking for a large roof box, there 250 quid in halfords, and after buying the bars, not far off 400 quid,
Be cheaper to buy a trailer,

Re: Roof boxes.
The one i managed to get was the black 470L one,i was well chuffed.It's amazing how much stuff you can get in them but just watch the weight.I'd try and get one now if your looking before the holidays come as the used prices go sky high.
