Bike rack - MINI Cooper Forum

My new Cooper should hopefully arrive within the next two weeks (go on!) and as I do a lot of mountain biking I'll need to get a bike rack. I quickly opted against getting the factory fitted one as having holes drilled in the roof was slightly off putting. So, does anyone have any recommendations?

Cheers!

do a search on here under roof racks this has been discussed a few times. halfords do one and so does montblanc. ive tried neither tho... halfords doesnt look to good as it sits on the plastic trims.

Try www.minifini.com They've just been selected as official supplier to MINI USA for an under/through the rear bumper mointed bike rack kit. It's a pretty slick treatment, and can be used as a trailer hitch mount, etc. It's a 2 part set up. And might be a little pricy.

this is the solution i want.. looks good and very functional.. I heard a price around $500 for the bike rack and car mount..

It's supposed to happen soon..
