I've just bought an Evoque Si4 Prestige and need some roof bars for a roof box or ski carrier, but it doesn't have the factory rails fitted.

I've spoken to the LR dealer where I bought the car, who say I need to buy the OEM rails, then the cross bars and the cost is somewhere in the region of £800 for the whole lot, which is insane.

Thule list a cross bar only option for cars without rails, but looking at where the mount points are on the car I'm not sure how this works as the bars will be so far apart I'm not sure the box will fit between them.

Any pointers or ideas?

Ah, that makes sense. I was picturing them fixing to the rail mounts!

Yes, mine is a 5 door, so no issues there. I've found a UK dealer who will sell the rails for £250 including fitting, which is a significant improvement on the CHF900 I was quilted by my local dealer, so I may go for that and use the cross bars from my old car.
