 Be good to hear what you go for, im awaiting my first ever C4GP and will also be looking for roof storage.. Thule aero wing bars seem to get a good report.

 Well off on holidays end of month, time for a decision.

Went for the bigger one.

Will post a pic when fitted.

Looks like my roofbox is being sent from Italy, just left Bari so who knows when it will get here

 Well the box came sooner than expected, fitted it today absolutely massive - but looks great on top of the C4

 Just an update, I originally fitted the roofbox with my existing Thule quick snap U bolts but was unconvinced the box was fully secure so changed to the U bolts supplied. Though they are not as slick as the Thule ones they are well designed and just as quick to fit. They too use a clamping mechanism

Now on holiday and all camped up roofbox made a huge difference in packing the car so glad I went for the biggest one.
