4 door, 5 door or coupe?
If 4 door or coupe, the Paddy Hopkirk one will work providing you have a high-ish level spoiler. I have one and the straps that go from the carrier to the front lip of the boot lid actually pass under the spoiler.
I bought it from Chevin Cycles in Otley, Yorkshire. (http://www.chevincycles.co.uk)

4 DOOR WRX?....low spoiler? NO PROBLEM!
thats what I have. thought i was going to have to get a new rear wing or bikerack..but before panicking decided to try the Halfords 2 bike rack that I had for my previous car, a golfmk3 hatch. It fits!...the straps go under the spoiler and hook onto the boot and
the bottom sits on the bumper.
If you want Jo..mail me and i can send you a pic of my car with rack on.
cheers

Thanks Matt
Will let you know when the next Fleet meet is there's usually quite a good crowd (if you've read the posts before, it's the original Fleet meet before it got too big )- it's not too far for you. I am over in Bordon.
Look forward to seeing the photos.

Be warned, I did this with 2 adult mountain bikes, first bump down the road and the boot lid was dented
Make sure it is well padded, you should be alright with kiddies bikes though...
