Aha! Its different. 
I do think it would look better without, but ideal if your gonna be using it.

You have no cross members from what I can see in the pic but more pressing imo is the additional weight will be beyond the original specifications to which the clamps are designed to take so worth bearing in mind when working out how much weight it can carry.

i bought some cheap roof bars
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
took the bars out and replaced them with wood and put slates across
the only thing about the roof bars the the hook that clamps the gutter doesnt swing down enought to hook around and i had to drill some new holes
but all is well now!
