Looks like the towbar option is the only one.

I trust Thule for racks, and they don't list a back door rack for the Cinq, and the roof rack is quite specifically for a car without a glass roof.

Cheers

Re: Bike rack's

On ebay.it there is a chrome 'boot rack' which funnily enough fits on the boot, would that be any good for you ? Perhaps you could get something fabricated to convert ?

Re: Bike rack's

problem with boot racks is that if the boot lid is curved they wont sit right and it moves and damages the cars paintwork..

not to mention not been technically legal in the first place as the boot lid isn't a certified load carrying area and the need for a lighting board...

However, Fiat actually list rear bars for the 500 which can be adapted for skis or snowboards but no mention of bikes.

It's in the leisure time section.
