Bike Racks - little Help

i've had a good look around for what i'm looking for, but i cant seem to find it, so wondered if anyone would be able to help. I live in the new forest, so i dont exactly have to travel far for some riding, but for getting to some decent trail centres, i need to drive, so i need a bike rack. although i have a slight problem in that all of the rear hatch style ones, that hang off the boot, have straps that go up to the top of the hatch, which, on my car, proves a problem as there is small, rather flimsy spoiler in the way that i really dont feel like having fall/break off under the weight and tension of the rack and bike. are there any racks that just sort of sit on the rear bumper and hang on to the side of the hatch? seen a few of the saris ones but i cannot make out in the pics if they go up the top or not

This, far more secure. Some cars can't take a bike rack of any sort, my other half's MG ZR can't partly due to the spoiler but also the hatch is too weak supposedly, best place to check is with Saris etc, they'll say what is compatible with your car.0
