Hi,
I've just bought a couple of bikes for my wife and I, and assumed wrongly that finding a bike rack for this car would be simple! How wrong I was. It seems the best bet now is to have a detatchable tow bar fitted and go for a Thule Bicycle Tow Ball Carrier http://www.car-roofracks.co.uk/ride-on-bicycle-carrier.htm
The surprise problem was trying to find a manufacturer of Tow bars that supports the W209 CLK Cabrio (55 plate) along with electrics. The Bosal referred to on this thread was for an older model - http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=49375&highlight=tow+bar+clk&page=2
The Witter version here http://www.towequipe.co.uk/1/1/486745-witter-detach-towbar-fits-mercedes-clk-cabriolet-03.html looks fine, but doesn't have any electrics! Clearly I don't really have a clue what I'm doing, and will ask a pro to fit it, but it would be good to get any ideas from anyone what the best bet here is, whether the carrier, or the Tow Bar?
Cheers
Toby
