[VX-Tony]

Ok, not sure where this should go (the post - not the rack) and dont flame me for wanting a rack for the clio but...

Do reanult sell a bike rack that will fit on the back of a 172 perfectly? Also, do they come in iceberg

Hi Mate,

I have an official renault bike rack i want to sell that would fit your car, it goes on the roof and can take 2 bikes (see the accessory brochure) cost me about £130 ... Wanting £50 for it. but you would have to collect it or i could meet you somewhere.

email me or call if you are interested.

Any reason for sale? Id prefer one to fit on the back of the car rather than the roof but maybe the roof one might be a better idea as smaller to store when off the car.

How easy it is to fit/remove? Im guessing it doesnt damage the car in anyway either?

Ive got one thatll go on the back...Its not the Renault official one thou....

I wouldnt mind the on that gos on the roof if you dont want it

Any reason you dont like the one on the back HC? The more I think about it the roof one makes more sense if the bikes fit ok as 99% of the time it will not be on the car and I live in a London flat with not much room !!

Trouble it, it will mostly be motorway miles with the bikes so I dont know how secure they would be?

get a halfords high mount, will fit easy

Didnt want to get anything that might damage the spoiler etc. Coming around to the idea of the roof rack style as they would be easier to store. Does it fit in the boot?

Wheels off, back seats down.. put a rug down to keep the car clean and throw it in the back, best way to not scratch your car to bits!!

p.s didnt mean "throw" literally, LOL

Its a bit of a pain with a car full of kids, as they always want something out of the boot the minute you get all the bikes are on there + I take the dog too (sometimes) and need access to the boot for that......

OK when we had the estate, not so much so with a hatch back
