I'm getting to the stage of life where i've given up on sexy cars and start finding rectangles on wheels quite alluring. Just about to buy a Vauxhall Combo Life XL (long wheelbase version 2018) and am having a mare getting some roof bars & feet to fit. Loads for the standard 4.4m version, can't see any for my future 4.7m beastie.

Anyone know where to look? Ebay/Halfords are useless unless i'm missing something.

XL 2018 Fat version

No sure if a LWB is a maxi?

Worth going to a Vauxhall parts desk, often cheaper than you can get online.

Roofbox, if in doubt call them. Their customer service is stupendously good.

If you've a fixed point roof, beware that Vauxhall appear to have buggered up and have spaced the fix points in locations that make fitting a roof box, and therefore probably a bike rack, impossible.

edit: did you mean bars (acrossways), or rails (lengthways)?

Cheers all - I need bars and rails. There is nothing on the van roof. Not sure if the larger van i'm looking at will work with a 'Foot' and Bar pack, as seen in everything Thule does.

Looks like Vanguard/Roofbox will be getting a shout from me!

There doesn't necessarily need to be. Many just clamp around the door frame.

Typically with Thule you'll get the bars, one of a couple of different foot pack options, and the vehicle-specific adaptor kit that goes on the bottom of the foot.

The Vauxhall Combo Life XL is new to the market.....

However they are exactly the same van as:

Peugeot Rifter Long
Citroen Berlingo XL
Toyota Proace City Verso Long

The first two have been out the longest so look for options advertised for those.

and a set of transverse bars for high days and holidays
