No...changes to your body and chassis due to carnage does not count

If you get stuck for rails you can just drill holes and bolt a basket straight in to the roof using some rubber spacers... worked for me

If you dont have gutters the only options are a comercial bar set-up using mounts to the door frame or mounting rails to the roof as above. I would go the second way but only because you can find the parts at the wreckers a lot cheaper than new. Make sure you bolt through the roof supports and measure twice drill once not the other way. A little sealant in the holes is a good idea
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

If you remove the plastic strips on the gutters, you'll see 3 pieces of tape on each side of the roof. They cover pairs of M6 holes to fix a roofrack. It's quite easy to make brackets to fit there.
