Default Bike rack on a 2011 STI???

Hi All

What options are out there?

I have the Thule roof bars so could easily add on the bike attachment but cannot be bothered to fit the roof bars on the odd occasion I want to take out the bikes, and I'm not one for leaving them on, also not keen on lifting the bikes up and over the car!

Are then any of the type that sit on the rear bumper and clip on to the boot rim? Had a look around but would ideally like to see what others have done.

Cheers
A

If its the hatch you have then i had the same problem. spent ages surfing the net for a rear mounted carrier but because of the rear spoiler nobody seems to do one that will fit and i didn't fancy drilling the car to fit a tow bar. i ended up buying the Thule aerobars and cycle carriers and once you've fitted them a few times they're not so bad. Crap falling off the bikes onto your roof sucks though!
