Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Mini Cooper we have the Yakima Fullback trunk mounted bike rack part # Y02634 that fits your hardtop/hatchback model and would work well. Cooper S or JCW trims must have optional wing type spoiler and straps can be routed under the wing, not over it. I really like this trunk rack because of the wide mounting pad on the bottom which distributes the weight of the bikes and rack well. It also comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. I attached an install video for this for you to check out too.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
