We don't have any Demco base plate kits that fit your 2013 Mini Cooper convertible, but we do a Roadmaster with the part # 521879-1A but it would only fit if yours is an S model. You'd be able to use your current Demco tow bar with it with the adapter part # RM-033. For a wireless tow bar lighting solution that has two different light assemblies you'd want the Hopkins Tow Lights part # C6304.
