Default Roof rack and bull bars

I have a bug eye impreza saloon im looking ti fit bumper bars and a roof rack and cage to (not everyones cup of tea) i think it looks diffrent and im all about stepping outside of the box lol. I think j can have the bull bars fabricated by my bro but the roof rack is the main thing im looking for. Im kinda giing for a cross between a 4x4's styling but with a fresh and clean road car look. These are the pictures im using for insperation. Im having trouboe locatinv the right roof bars and cage. Im still in the planning stage though so not looking to buy right away as theres mechanical issues with the car j have to tackle first but i like to have a plan laid out for it all

Slamming a car, adding a huge rear diffuser and then looking to put a load of safari style additions on looks silly. Case in point, the car above. That thing wouldn't even get into a Tesco car park let alone a dirt track!

I totally get the off-road style, but have the ride height and remove the track trinkets to compliment it otherwise it looks confused. IMO

Tbh i quite like it its diffrent from the usual off road styling imprezas have ie the rally stickers but the front bar is to help reduce damage from road kill thats all too common kn my area. You cant have a splitter on more than a couple months before a badger desides it cant handle life anymore and throws itself infront of you. The roof rack is so i can get track tyres on it drive to the track remove the rack change the tyres and away i go so they serve a purpose but imo its different and ive never been one to fit in with the crowd

Top pic with bull bars look ok and look good on estate. Roof rack and cage is silly, just put wheels in boot, you can fit 3 in and one on back seat. Loads of VW's got roof racks and cages around me, looks rubbish.

Its your car though.
