That's where I got mine, fantastic bit of kit, two 2700 mile Europe trips and various home trips with no issues.
I'm planning to buy a bike rack for my edition. It'll have to fit on the tailgate (no towbar) and I only need to carry one mountain bike.
The rack needs to be sturdy, secure (bike may be locked to it overnight so ideally rack cant be removed without opening the tailgate) and easy to remove as it'll be removed when not carrying a bike.
Whats the advantage of the Fiamma T6 pro over the VW one? How easy are they to fit and remove?

Did you reach a decision on this - if so please could you tell which one and why? Thanks
I’ve just got the genuine VW one. Brilliant. And I think it looks pretty smart too.
I’ve had it loaded up with 4 bikes and it’s rock solid.
Two security bolts to remove near the lights and it unhooks at the top of the tailgate.
I plan to leave it on most of the time as it’s quite big to store.
I got 37mpg loaded up with 4 people, 4 bikes and going through country lanes 30-60mph.

I'm still undecided Bluey...
I'm also considering the Fiamma Pro, the VW one is too big and bulky for me as it would never have more than two bikes on it, usually one. Sadly no bike rack presents any problem to a thief now, if it's not attended, since they all carry cordless grinders 
I intend to carry the front wheel and EMTB battery in the van to try and make the theft less attractive.

We have a Fiamma rack (version for barn doors) Pleased with it and works well. Ours holds two bikes. It can be removed but I think it is designed to remain in situ. Regular removal would soon become a pain. Ours has never been removed. It's rattle free and we forget its there! Securing the bikes takes minutes.

No it clears the bumper. They supply a clear protective sticker to sit under the rubber foot incase it touches but so far it hasnt done so. The rubber foot is adjustable so I guess you can have it sitting on the bumper for a heavier load support. Again, have never had to.

Wow that is less than my 94mm and pee myself evertime I reverse in .... with the wing mirrirs folded I have 12mm either side! On the height - less than 5mm so I check the tyre pressure and pray!
It is all a bit scary - now where is summer!

Yes I have the same side clearance but height isn't an issue for me due to the ride height.
I tried a folding MTB but the frame was just too small. Gone over to emtb now anyway and it will fit in, but with no room to move. Think it'll have to come inside at night though, so I can't decide if it's worth buying a rack
Interesting, a third option. Looks like it tucks up close when not being used too.
