Bike Rack for Car

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a bike rack to fit a 2008 Peugeot 407. I have a tow bar but also have a rear spoiler. It appears that a rear spoiler may hamper certain types of bike racks. It looks like a rack fitted to a tow bar may be the most suitable but i was hoping to get a recommendation or some advice from anyone who may have faced a similar scenario. Also, i'm not keen on using a roof rack.

    Ideally, i'd like a rack with the capability to carry 3 bikes.

    Any suggestions, recommendations or advice?

    Thule carrier 9 series. You can get 1 in halfords for about 189 euros comes with lights built in and carries 3 bikes. I have the next series up from this for the past 6 years and it's fantastic bit of kit.
    the porblem you have with the 407 is ifv it's a saloon most of the cheaper standard racks will only take 2 bikes as you have to adjust the frame shape too much. ( I work for the big orange h as mentioned above and am the only person in store who knows anything about the racks!)

    I have the Thule tow bar mounted 3 bike rack and it's great. It's handy to put on and remove and doesn't compromise the driving. It feels very secure even at motorway speeds and it's relatively low height makes loading/unloading easy.
