gnhovis Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Much to my surprise and amazement, when I went to install a rear fog light, I found out my car had a towing hitch. Since I don't need one, I thought I'd try to see if anyone else does. I bought the car in June '11 so the hitch was installed some time during the previous 5 years. It doesn't look it was ever used. It's in pretty good shape, just the wear you would expect from riding out multiple winters around here. It's a Class 1 Receiver Hitch, model M1003 from MINI Do More, which according to their website will fit the following vehicles: 05-06 Cooper S Hardtop without rear fog light 05-08 Cooper S Convertible without rear fog light 07-10 Cooper S Hardtop 09-10 Cooper S Convertible Does not include wiring harness but you might be able to get one from MINI Do More. See their website for installation instructions. It took me less than 30 minutes to remove so I suspect it would take about the same to install. (I can't vouch for installation on a R56, check with MINI Do More before you purchase.) $100, Paypal preferred. Can deliver in DC/Baltimore/No VA, or pick up in Mt. Airy, MD. PM if interested or if you have any questions. (I can bring to NCC Autocross on 4/6 if you want to see it.)

JAB 67 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 I have asked MiniDoMore whether that will fit my 2004 MCS with back-up light. If it does, I might be interested. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
gnhovis Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Posted April 3, 2013 I have asked MiniDoMore whether that will fit my 2004 MCS with back-up light. If it does, I might be interested. I think it will fit, but you would lose the back-up light. Don't know if anyone makes a light that fits into the receiver.

Poison Ivy Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 I'm very interested. I would guess JAB 67 has first dibs if it fits his.
JAB 67 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks. Great deal, and MiniDoMore advises that it will fit my car, but I just developed a radiator leak, need new tires . . . so regretably I will pass. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
Poison Ivy Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 Ok I'm checking with my advisor (Dad) to see if he can install.
gnhovis Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Posted April 3, 2013 Ok I'm checking with my advisor (Dad) to see if he can install. Instructions here. The hardest part is pulling off the fender trim to get to the screw that's concealed underneath. (Picture 3 in the linked document.)

gnhovis Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Posted April 6, 2013 Ok I'm checking with my advisor (Dad) to see if he can install. Do you want the hitch? Someone else is interested but you replied first. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines."-- Enzo Ferrari Spec R53 Racing GeorgeCo MINI Blog
