Default Fitting a roof rack to a 03 XJR questions for across the pond

Has anybody in Europe fitted a Mont Blanc rack to their XJ8/XJR? I am thinking of ordering one of these but just want to be sure it will fit. Seems to me that the Jaguar gutters are backwards compared to normal US gutters so I'm having trouble picturing how it would work. Price is right but of course shipping will be more than the rack, don't want to get stuck with something that won't fit. Here's a link to one on flebay uk.

Did you know that the Thule 300 tower fits perfectly in the 308 gutter?

I do now. Will go to my ski shop then and have him order me up one.

Edit: Found a set up with the 300 tower, locks and 58" bars on flebay for under 150 shipped. Will just need to cut the bars a little smaller. I owe you a beer Squish!
