you have standard gutters so any type of roofrack desigend for the correct width will do.

The normal Thule lookalike bars and ends from Halfords etc fit OK. Check the height of the end pieces, though, as you won't want the span touching the roof under load.

For peace of mind it's worth paying for lockable fittings. I dare say one key fits all, but casual thieves probably don't carry roof rack keys!
