This tow bar base plate is designed to be easy on your suspension and even easier on the eye, because it is designed with hidden reinforcements. This is not a one-size-fits-all base plate, but rather a system that is integrated into the individual bumper design of the 2007+ R56 MINI Cooper HARDTOP (non-S only) and for the 2008+ R55 MINI CLUBMAN. It's just like having it custom made - only faster!
Tow bar, wiring harness, and safety cable are not included - order separately.
This all welded design:
1. Bolts securely to the chassis.
2. Spreads towing force equally without undue stress.
3. Keeps the weight placed on your suspension to a minimum.
4. Provides a clean-looking front bumper.
5. Looks great!
Installation Notes:
A. Bumper fascia must be removed and replaced during installation.
B. Requires some trimming of bumper (fascia, plastic, and/or grill).
C. Requires some drilling (not major).
D. Requires some trimming of the air dam.
E. Use only with motorhome mount tow bars Aladdin & Aventa.
F. Approximate installation time by a trained installer: 3 Hours
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The fact that Blue Ox has a baseplate for a particular vehicle does not imply the towability of that vehicle.
Please read your towed vehicle owner's manual and/or consult your dealer for the correct towing procedures for your vehicle.
Failure to comply with your towed vehicle's owner's manual could result in property damage or personal injury.
