Package deal: KAMEI Oyster 450 gloss black roof box no. KM391 and bars
£674.95
In stock
The Oyster 450 in gloss black is in KAMEI's top end range, designed for enduring good looks and optimum functionality - it's a big box despite its nominal 450 litres. It's classically styled, with the unique feature that the "eye-line" in the base of the lid follows not only the front to back shape of a modern car roof, but also its side to side curvature.
Note that it's only designed for fitting to T-track aluminium bars - in other words it will not fit to square bars.
It's exceptionally smart, very well-priced. Please see the Description tab for full details and important fitting information.
This package deal is only available at this "from price" if CRUZ has steel roof rail bars for your vehicle - CRUZ has bars for most vehicles - but you'll see that we also have packages with our other bar brands, at higher prices but with even bigger savings.
All our roof bars packages provide everything you need. All you need to do is to click on "Add to basket and choose bars" (see bottom of page), then choose your car to see your options and the savings.

This superb box and bars package deal provides everything you need, including locking roof bars. All you need to do is to click on "Add to basket and choose bars" to place your order; we'll then show you which roof bars are available. You'll pay more for aluminium than for steel, and you'll pay more for Atera, Thule, or Yakima than you'll pay for CRUZ. The savings on buying the components individually are huge and, if the bars you choose don't come with locks as standard, we'll include them for free, so often the savings are even bigger than advertised. We're very confident that you won't find such good value anywhere else! KAMEI started out as a car styling company and this pedigree is built into their top-end Oyster 450 roof box. It's designed for enduring good looks and optimum functionality - it's a big box despite its nominal 450 litres. It's classically styled, with the unique feature that the "eye-line" in the base of the lid follows not only the front to back shape of a modern car roof, but also its side to side curvature. The innovative ClickFix mounting system allows you to fit the box to T-track aluminium roof bars in seconds - note that you can only fit the Oyster to T-track aluminium bars - in other words it will not fit to square bars, at least not unless different fittings are purchased and modifications made. Fitting is very easy: Place the box where you want it on the bars, slide the fittings so that they are centred over the slot in the top of each aluminium bar, and flip each ClickFix lever from one side to the other. The system works with all T-track profiles that we know about, including the wider BMW bars, but note that if you are using Thule's Evo WingBars you should not fit the rubber strips in the area where the ClickFix is located – there is more information about this on the tab “Fitting to Thule Evo WingBars”. The Oyster uses KAMEI's ingenious central locking system, which has all the benefits of central locking without any of the potential drawbacks: The box is unlocked with a quarter key turn, but locked again just by pulling the box shut. Big deal? Actually, yes. Almost all other central locking systems have a big drawback when it comes to closing the box, because you need to turn the key in the lock at the same time as holding down both the front and the rear of the box – which is a three handed operation if the lid is being held up by bulky gear, or if the base is sagging due to incorrect loading or weakness. The KAMEI system has three catches and three hinges, for extra security. And you can’t take the key out of the lock until the box is properly shut. It's a really neat system.

Fitting boxes with KAMEI ClickFix to Thule WingBars If you wish to fit this box to Thule’s WingBars, you should not insert the rubber strips into the bars, because they will be caught up by the ClickFix mechanism, and pushed into the T-track slots in the aluminium bars. This will put too much strain on the ClickFix system, and will not be a safe fitting. Fitting the rubber strips into WingBars is not an easy task; if it were easy, it would be done at the Thule factory! Spare yourself the hassle! When a box is fitted to roof bars there is no need for noise-reducing rubber strips anyway; this is true if anything is fitted to roof bars, e.g. a bike carrier or a kayak carrier – all these items make some noise. If you wish to leave your bars in place with the roof box removed then there is sense in cutting and inserting the rubber strips, but not in the area of the ClickFix fixings. It is best to use the box a few times before doing this, so you can be confident that the box is in the optimum position on your roof bars. Removing the rubber strips is easy; putting them in again a second time, neatly, is very difficult! |
