Toyota are after £350 for a 2 bike set up on a verso - is that about right? Any other options? Halfrauds?

For a roof rack?

What exactly are they quoting for? It cost me less than half that to get a towbar, all the electrics and a rack although I did fit it DIY, but that's a towbar!

My roof rack cost £65 off ebay (new, and model specific just not ford/thule branded) and there were some thule roof carriers on the classifieds last week going cheap.

Roof bars would probably be between 75 and 200 quid a pair depending on how fancy you want them to look.
Bike carriers to fit them start at under 50 quid for Thule ones which are decent quality. Depends how you want to attach the bike.
So very easy to beat £350

I've bought various stuff from www.roofbox.co.uk - there may be cheaper sources but they have a good range.

I've got some barely used Thule bits for sale:
961 Wing bars - £65ono
1312 Fitting kit - £25ono
754 Footpack - £65ono
Courier can be arranged. Still have the original box for the 754 and all the manuals, spare bits and keys for all the items.

The Halfords website will tell you what components you need for your car.

I really have no idea what to look for 😳
id love the tow bar mounted one but its on the family car and its just going to be easier with kids to have the bikes up out of the way

no bars on the roof already, so im guessing at
fit new bars
new rack
new holders (really know nothing and mrs V666 is trying to sort it for xmas)
