Hi all,

I need some roof rails/bars for my 2010 RRS, and have come across plenty of aftermarket versions (like this one: https://www.powerfuluk.com/range-rover-spo...02130.html) but am wondering if anyone has any experience with these or should I stump up the extra cash and go for the genuine LR kit?

Do you want rails as well as cross bars? Or would a set of cross bars be OK? Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

That link is for a genuine one? Some people buy them in then discount them when they won't shift - don't think many people buy them.

@Bill - I only need one to make into a light bar mount

by pure coincidence , there's a pair in the for sale section and also on ebay as we speak.

not sure i'd want to split unless there's someone else wants just one roof bar. Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

The ones in the link are non-genuine... although they only tell you that right at the bottom of the description

LR parts also have no-genuine but then have a selector that you can pick the genuine ones... https://www.lrparts.net/genuine-style-roof...sport.html

There's around £270 difference in price, but they look almost identical... hence me asking if anyone has had any expereince with them

My bad, eyesight getting worse as I get older

I think I have genuine ones bought off a member on here but I don't know for sure. To be honest, there's not a lot to go wrong with a couple of strips of metal, some screws and plastic bits. They do look identical, so also a good chance that they were sourced from the same place LR get theirs but without LR's stonking markup. If you don't think the quality is up to it, then you can always return.

I bought a set from Powerfuluk in July last year, They have been great, no issue whatsoever with them, easy to install. (apart from removing the grommets that Land Rover put in the holes in the roof.)

I did note when installing that it looks like they had the Land Rover logo molded onto the bottom but then scratched off.

My wife even commented that that car looks better with them on.

looks like i'll be going for the aftermarket one's then...

as Pufftw has said, they can always be returned if i don't think they're up to the job.

cheers guys
