Roof Rails

I am wondering if you have to actually get roof rails as a few places I have looked at for roof bars look like the bars fit straight on without the need for rails. Is this just wishful thinking on my behalf that I will not need to buy roof rails. 06 S, sticker, colour coded boot handle and sill guards added within 2 hours of getting it!!!

Cheers for the replies. I dont mind having to fit them just have seen differenct info on sites as to if you have to have rails or not as some roof bars claim to come with feet that do not need the rail. Is no hurry to get some so means I can keep an eye out for a set at a decent price. 06 S, sticker, colour coded boot handle and sill guards added within 2 hours of getting it!!!

If it was me, I would be sticking to OEM rails as you don't know how it would affect the load on the roof if you use some cheap aftermarket equivalent or attempt to cut corners by not having the rails Thumbs Up 2016 RR Sport Autobiography
