Went on super easy but had to contact CS for retorque specs. It's slightly more stable in cornering.

My hitch for my R53 came in today and 3 hours later it is installed and the car is all back together. The fit and finish are excellent and I couldn't be happier with the product. The only problem I had is that the instructions mention zip ties and replacement trim mount clips but the little Baggie included in my box was empty. Someone forgot to pop the parts into the bag before tossing the bag into the box. Didn't really effect me because I didn't break any trim tabs and I have PLENTY of zip ties.
Thanks for a great and unique product that makes the ownership of our quirky little MINIs even better.

Hi,
I recently purchased the belt tensioner from Alta and had it installed. Had I only known over the past several thousand miles that my shock was bad, I would have changed it sooner. The shop guys brought the old one out to show me that it was completely useless. Since replacing it my mileage has increased dramatically, and performance as well. apparently the drive belt was slipping on the super charger. And power, all I can say is "Yeah, Baby". Thanks guys for making this part available.
Best Regards,
Ron

Love these guys! I've ordered a few thousand dollars worth of parts from full suspension kits and clutches to small trim pieces. These guys come through time and time again! As long as I have a MINI, Outmotoring.com will be my #1 go-to for goodies.
Purchased to replace the well-worn original with a quarter-million miles on it. This is a MINI part so it fits perfectly and looks great. Easy to install but be careful with the clips.
