Poison Ivy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 That's pretty cool .... and just in time for the Spring Fling...
Poison Ivy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 So I don't think this qualifies as a performance part... can you confirm there is no member discount on this?

PTUNING Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 So I don't think this qualifies as a performance part... can you confirm there is no member discount on this? It's consider aftermarket parts, and yes it will qualify for the club discount. When we say non performance, we mean OEM or OEM spec parts. If you order online, please use discount code: ptdcmetrominis Also, the camera mount adapter (optional) is fully adjustable.

JAB 67 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Why is it listed as second generation only? Wouldn't it work on my Gen 1? JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
PTUNING Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 Why is it listed as second generation only? Wouldn't it work on my Gen 1? We believe it's the same, but we need a first gen to test fit the thread and length of the tow hook. So, if we have anyone local with a first gen that is interested in the tow hook/camera mount, we can test fit it and discount you a bit on the part for your trouble.

Thanks, According to REALOEM.com, the tow hook is common across both 1st and 2nd Gen MINI and bunches of BMW's as well. The part number for it is 72157203519. I was going to drop a list of what vehicles it's used for here but it's a pretty long list. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Yea, we figure the thread pitch is pretty much the same for all MINI and BMW models, but we still need to verify the length of the tow bolt on the first gen.

PTUNING Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 I just added two more options to the original post for the GoPro camera mount kit only and the POV camera mount kit. So, you can now buy: 1. Tow hook kit with optional camera mount adapter. 2. Camera mount kit only for GoPro. 3. Camera mount kit only for POV. If you decide to go with the camera mount kit only and later on want to add a two hook adapter....yes! you can do that too. That is the beauty of our kit, you can interchange them. For those that want to run a license plate relocation kit off of the factory tow hook, we have that too. I will post that shortly. Thanks again.
