Fitting Accessories to Cars

i have been following various post regarding aftermarket accessories for cars. I now know that I may not fit , for e.g., a tow bar, even tho it may withstand an atomic blast, unless it has been homologated. I have no problem with that because if I am going to live in another country I must abide by the rules, (I’m old school). However I cannot find any info regards attaching bike carriers. I have aThule which carries three bikes and clamps onto the tow ball. What does the panel think about this? If this is not allowed, what about roof bars and roof mounted cycle carriers. TIA

The police don't like them ..hit and miss .. must have the large reflective [ red/white ] marker displayed to the rear and of course your lights must be visible .
