Anyone seen a rear mounted cycle carrier on the market that is suitable for a Ford Focus hatchback that you don’t need to have a lighting board with.

With the lights high and number plate low I can not find anyone selling one that does not obscure either lights or plate. (looking at the pictures)

Any recommendations or am looking for something that’s not possible.

    TBH I don't think you'll get a rear carrier that'll work in the way you want it to.

    Either the lights will be obscured or the plate will be.

    Roof bars are the best option if you don't have a towbar.

    when i used to have a rear mounted carries i never used to put up a light board and i used it for about 4 year till i got a roof mounted, police never stopped me,
    if you have a towbar have a look on ebay you can get a brand new witter carrier for £50 and its excellent
