Question Bike carrier for an MG ZT 2.5L

Hi All,

I'm going camping with my 5yr old daughter next week and am trying to work out how to take 2 bikes with us. I'm looking at something similar to this...(https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rhino-Autom...s=bike+carrier ) but I can't tell if it'll fit over the spoiler without blocking the rear lights.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi!
Consider first the law regarding to hiding the rear number plate & lights with the bikes.
Over here is illegal. If there is the same - use some Thule roof bike racks.
Proride is the best - I use 3 of them on a saloon 75.

Add: The prices are not so scarying - 2x ProRide brand new for £99.98

Once the bikes are mounted it'll block the rear lights so you'll need a trailer/lightboard board as well.

Get yourself a set of roofbars and roof mount cycle carriers.

I have a set of OEM roofbars that I can sell if your interested in going down that route, I also have 2 cycle carriers if you had been local you could have borrowed for a few days.
