This is a top quality product and comes with a quality light board. All you need is a number plate. But even here, the light board has plastic lugs which pop out and grab the number plate so you don't have to drill it or use sticky pads.
It may take a while to build confidence in the rack as it is quite simply grabbing hold of just the tow ball. It's crucial therefore to tighten the clamp bolt to the manufacturers specs. I might see if I can get hold of a long socket so I can use a torque wrench.
The only thing I would ask Thule to do is provide a longer lighting lead. Our 7 pin sockets are hidden beneath the bumber, like many 'concealed' systems these days. The Thule lead just won't reach so we have to use a coiled extension lead which means additional expense and hassle. This is a minor niggle though

Excellent bikerack, covered 2000 miles with 3 bikes on it. Was unable to open boot with rack of bikes tilted, but was prepared for this. Easy to build and fit but had to buy connector adaptor for Zafira electrics. Bikes felt secure through out trip and car wasn't scratched or view disrupted as with back window rack. Bikes removed easiy unlike roof mount. Classed as bike rack on ferry crossing even though sticks out considerably.

A very well made bike rack, which comfortably handles three bikes. Other reviews on build quality and security of bikes are accurate. Why only 4 stars ? One niggle for me is the securing bolt - if the rack came with a ratchet type spanner then it would be perfect, as it is a little bit fiddly to tighten the bolt. (only a little fiddly, and I'm probably being over-fussy). Optional lock to stop the bolt being undone by a thief is a sensible addition, but again at this price point would be nice if this was included in the main kit.
Certainly would recommend.

Great Carrier
Excellent carrier, very sturdy, easy to fit. Unfortunately the one I got from Amazon was missing a lot of parts and so I went to Halfords to get a replacement.
