The John Cooper Works (JCW) edition of the 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman came with a turbocharged I4 engine. The turbocharged engine also utilizes an intercooler which brings down air intake temperatures. The placement of the intercooler occupies the same space that the base plate would need for installation so unfortunately your only option to tow the vehicle would involve using a tow dolly such as the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1.

We went ahead and reached out to Thule, and they confirmed that while they do not have an exact measurement, the cradles of the Thule Hullavator # TH898 drop down about 36 inches from the top of the crossbar. With this factored into your current height, that is about 60 inches high.
However, it is important to note that you still need at least 4 inches of crossbar space past the feet for the Hullavator to function. If you need a crossbar system to have the appropriate length that you need,... view full answer...

Yes, customers have used replacement lens # 30-92-704 for the Bargman 94 series lights. It appears that the 94 series lights are the OEM part and the 92 series are the aftermarket version of the same thing. view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch you referenced, their part # C11130, is a fit for the Mini Cooper S (the non-convertible version) but not for the 2011 Mini Clubman. The correct hitch for the 2011 Clubman is their hitch # C11387, which is also a Class I type. Curt designed two different hitches because the attachment points and clearances under the two vehicles are different. No one hitch will fit both the 2010 Mini Cooper S and the 2011 Clubman. Hitch # C11130 will fit both the 2007 S Series non-convertible... view full answer...

You will need to cut a hole in the rear bumper fascia in order to install trailer hitch # 11130 on your 2008 Mini Cooper S. I have included a link to the installation details and a video for you to view.
I have seen several different styles of the John Cooper Works models of the 2008 S and it looks like if yours is one that has that little light above the exhaust, the hitch will not fit. view full answer...
As far as physically fitting the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mini Countryman you can use any of the Thule or Yakima boxes. No adapters needed. But you will want to be cautious if you want a box that will not interfere with the rear hatch.
For example one of the shortest Thule boxes is # TH614. On this box it measures slightly under 42-5/8 inches from the center of the rear attachment point to the back of the box. What that means is that you will need to have 42-5/8 inches or more from... view full answer...
I have a great hitch for your 2021 Mini Cooper 4 Door. It is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7290. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mini with included hardware. This hitch will NOT fit the S model or the John Cooper works model.
I really like this hitch because it mounts directly behind the bumper. This leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver portion exposed which doesn't drastically affect the already low ground clearance.

Class 1 hitches do have the 1-1/4 inch opening but they are rated for lower weights and pressures than a class 2 or 3 hitch. At most a class 1 hitch can have a max tongue weight of 200 pounds. It is simply not safe to have much weight on them. The hitch reciever opening will also be weaker and unable to handle the stress of some accessories even if they are not "heavy" they may put more leverage and stress into it causing warping or structural failures.
That is why the Hollywood Racks... view full answer...
The adapter # THXADAPT9 is the exact part you need to allow the Thule Echelon, # TH518, to fit Thule RapidAero or AeroBlade bars. Your crossbars should have channels in which the t-bolts in the adapter fit into. view full answer...
For the 2014 Mini Countryman with dual exhaust, you can install the Curt # C11333 as long as you do NOT have the John Cooper Works version. I attached the installation instructions and an installation video for you.
The Curt warranty requires you to use support strap # 18050 with any non-trailer load, such as a 2-bike rack or cargo carrier like # C18145 or # C18085. view full answer...
Yes, you should be able to install and use a center light in your 2004 Mini Cooper rear bumper as long as the hitch is not being used. The instruction do specify that if trimming is required on the back of the bumper after installing the hitch, not to cut any piece used to hold the trim cover or light. Meaning that the cover or light can be reinstalled. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

For your 2014 Mini Cooper hardtop with the single side exhaust and spare tire underneath you will need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290. The EcoHitch # EH47FR that you are looking at is only compatible with the John Cooper Works and S series Mini's. I have linked an installation video below that will help you through the installation process for the receiver on your Mini.

Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR will fit on your 2018 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works 4-door hardtop. You can pair this with the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 which has a 2" hitch ball with 3/4" rise. We do have the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT which will allow you to secure the ball mount and trailer coupler to your Mini. It will also allow you to secure your trailer when it is in storage.

While we do have one roof rack option, I checked with Yakima and other roof rack manufacturers, and there is not a way to add a roof rack that clamps onto your 2020 Mini Cooper with a naked roof. The only option available to add a roof rack to your Mini is with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B.
This rack uses six vacuum cups to attach to your roof and gives you an easy to use roof rack. The vacuum cups are extremely strong so any worry about them possibly flying off -... view full answer...
Since your 2005 Mini Cooper S hardtop has a spoiler, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2 for 2 bikes or for 3 bikes use # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical... view full answer...
You can use the FullBack bike rack # Y02634 on your 2014 Mini Paceman. I checked with Yakima and they do have other racks that will also fit and it appears that the way the racks are positioned on the vehicle there is little tension that will be applied to the spoiler.
You will need to use the straps in anchor mode though for the upper straps because the hooks on the regular straps will not be able to fit due to the spoiler. view full answer...
