Have a 2013 c4 Picasso looking for bike carry in options. Not sure about roof bars and a rack as the car is high enough already. A tow at option is very expensive wondering if anyone has any other suggestions (if they are willing to admit to having a Picasso). Thinking of Saris bones but they don't recommend them on their website due to their plastic spoiler. I have looked and I reckon you can get the straps under the spoiler in to the metal part of the boot anybody doing this or something else ?

I have a grand picasso and as far as i can tell no bike carrier seems compatible due to the vast amount of plastic on the french beast.

I have a grand Picasso too. Roof is very high, really needs small steps. Mostly for me it's chucked in the back.

Tow bar is your best bet.

Thought similar. Just hoping for a cheaper alternative than a tow bar.

We are on our third Grand Picasso since 2007. Works great for a bike car. Thule towbar rack works a treat with four bikes on. Used for the Alps every year until we got a camper last year. Beware with the latest models as if you dont use the correct Citroën electrics it messes with the car and causes all kinds of problems.

I work for Peugeot/citroen and 99% I see are tow bar type.

We've got a grand Picasso and a berlingo which is even taller, but just stick them on the roof. All you need is one of those cheap plastic folding steps from amazon, get the taller version. They fold completely flat so don't take up any space in the boot.

Ive got the Grands too. Despite my reluctance at first, I really like it, just dont delve too far into build quality.
Watching this with interest as I need a rack and have not go a towball, and feel it is a but high for roofrack.
From research Ive done I think the Saris Bones is possible, and probably best bet.
