Details

Please note, our product image may show the Hidden Hitch AND optional accessories (which are NOT included in the base price). Please see drop down menu to add a Drawbar (the removable part that has the actual tow ball to pull a trailer) or a Wiring Kit (only needed if a trailer is pulled).

Image shown has a bike rack installed for reference only and is not included.

Most of our customers purchase our hitch to attach a bike rack and do not require a Drawbar or Wiring kit.

The MniDoMore Hidden Hitch is custom engineered to fit specific MINI models and is one of the only hitches on the market that is hidden behind the bumper yet accessible for easy use when needed.

The MniDoMore Hidden Hitch for the PRE 2011 MINI R56 Hatchback BASE and R57 Convertible BASE models ONLY. The hitch is a custom designed heavy duty Steel assembly that mounts behind the plastic part of the MINI bumper and uses factory hardware and mounting location for a seamless and integrated look that is safe and secure and offers MINI owners the flexibility to haul, tow, attach or carry stuff they otherwise would never be able to. The hitch mounts between the large bumper support beam and the chassis.

This hitch is accessed through the rear fog light (or black filler panel) in the rear lower portion of the bumper. The light or panel is easily removed by squeezing the left and right tabs on either side (behind the bumper) and pushing outward. Once the hitch is not longer needed the panel or light can be clicked back into place.

Accessing the hitch to insert the hitch lock pin requires reaching behind/under the plastic trim of the bumper. The first few times it will be a bit challenging to work 'blind' but it will get easier.

Once installed, the hitch can be used to attach just about any off-the-shelf trailer, bike rack or luggage trays that have a 1-1/4" size connection. The vast majority of MINI drivers will use our hitch in conjunction with an aftermarket bike rack attachment (like Thule, Yakima, etc.). A 1-1/4" hitch connection is required and the post needs to be long enough to clear the bumper.

I would recommend anybody to purchase anything from his company everything I have received has been great and timely performance wise perfect

I bought Denso Iridium Colder spark plugs recently and found out that they are a horrible product to use. Wish that Outmotoring would allow customer reviews on products, that way we the consumer wouldn't have to worry able destroying our vehicles by adding sh!# parts. Why even sell this brand of spark plug if they have a bad reputation of popping out and destroying the threading!

I was looking for a hitch for my 2005 mini Cooper S convertible. I could not believe it, but outmotoring had a hitch specifically designed for my mini Cooper. I was in total shock because I had been looking for a hitch to use for my bike rack.. Installation was easy and it was a perfect fit. I am totally elated about my find. This company is an excellent company to buy parts for the mini Cooper. Thank you outmotoring for your quick and professional service. I am one happy customer! If you are looking for a hitch for your mini, look no further!:)
