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 2005-2006 R53 Hatchback 'S' and 2004-2008 R52 Convertible 'S' models that have the Black filler panel above the rear exhaust tips (NOT FOR MODELS WITH THE REVERSE OR FOG LIGHT). 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 a small hole where the black grill clips into place above the exhaust tips.

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.

Customers' comments

Just recieved my order (NM Engeneering 22mm rear sway bar and links). I'm just shocked at how fast the shipping was. I live in Moscow, Russia and it just took a week and two days to have all I ordered laying in my trunk.
Thank you guys, I will recommend your service to all my friends/
Great job!
Alexey

Actually spoke to an extremely professional, but moreover knowledgeable young man about my issue....fast,easy, and good....usually you can only pick two of those, all three is rare commodity these days. Well done!

I've made numerous purchases and have been satisfied with all of them.
My only disappointment has been my purchase of the black gas cap cover. The color has faded big time and I've owned it less that 6 months.
