Wouldn't look as nice as a round tube style, but I get that SHS a lot cheaper than B&Q sell it for, 7.6m length of 20x20x2 for about 7 quid plus the vat

What would you conjure to fasten it to the rails? I had an idea of something similar ro a scaffold clip with a rubber insert and shaped to the bars with some security feature my current ones have rubbish plastic and a key(which i dont have lol)

I'd buy a set of standard bars off ebay and pinch the 4 standard brackets, then you have locking keys too

Another idea maybe not for me but an idea none the less, could be a storage box that fills the gap bellow the rack between the it and the landy good for bits n bobs maybe a drawer..

I'm sure the weight limit on 3dr rails is something like 50kg you know...
You'd need to put some sort of aero deflector in front of the rail to divert air then or its gonna sound bad and ruin your mpg, something like this

Added a couple of pics of my switch panel too for those that are interested. Can make more if theres a demand.
Always loved that switch panel! It's a pity it won't fit on a 5 door!

I'd love a roofrack for the 3dr in the same shape as the standard one but continuing to the front of the car and securing to the roof above the front screen.
I've taken off the plastic covers and found the channels but as yet I haven't found a bar that would do as a light bar or to bring the weight of whatever is on the roof more central over the car.
Also my 3dr roof rack isn't very strong. I've checked all fixings are tight but it doesn't look like it'd take a roof tent or anything heavy.
So if you could make a tubular roof rack that covers the entire roof of the 3dr and secures at the front too, I'd be very interested.
