2018 new shape - roof bars??

Hi All

I am about to take delivery of the new shape 2018 RRS.

Can anyone point me in the direction of what roof bars to buy that will fit the new shape?

Thanks
Adam

Your Land Rover Dealership will happily rip you off for a set of re-branded Thule crossbars - by “new shape” do you mean a 2010-2013 L320 Facelift RRS or the post 2013 L494 RRS ( ie the current design)? iIRC you will also need a set of roof rails to mount them on too and there are different designs depending whether you have a panoramic roof or not. You can see all the OEM roof fittings on the Land Rover.co.uk website if you build a car, the last 2 or 3 pages are all the dealer fit accessories.
As many are Thule items rebranded and priced upward you could also look at Thule’s website, but you will need to know if your car is an L320 or an L494. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks for the reply

It’s the brand new 2018 model just built and on its way to me, the one with the dual touch screen inside... does that help?

I know the front bumper, rear bumper and exhaust layout has changed on the new model, just worried they altered the roof bar layout too.

I could have borrowed some roof bars for my new shape Q7 but oh no Audi changed the fittment type on the new shape Q7 had to pay £250 for Audi specific ones.

Are we thinking these will fit then - https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/roof-rack?q=JHeeNQoZy

I was flicking through the 2018 brochure and it said they now have roof rack ‘provision’? Does this mean they’ve finally added some fixing points or do you still need the roof bars fitting, to clamp to? Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

Can I just buy that Thule set and fit straight to the roof or do I need anything else adding before?

Thanks

For the L494 the roof stays unchanged for MY18 on, also Thule has not updated their offer.
Means you still need the roof rails for a Thule or Landrover rack.

The only way to keep a clean roof is clamped rails from other suppliers.

Anyone know how much the roof rails are for MY18?

Are they something you can fit yourself?

I will be using them mostly in summer for camping trips but would prefer not to have them on for the majority of the time.
