Thanks ,,thank you very much ..I need to replace the bumper ,I thought that was difficult but now ,you did easy for me ,we have a R60 countryman 2011.thanks again.
Good video, thanks. If you dont have a plastic rivet gun you can go buy a cheap pack of plastic push pin clips. Half of mine were either missing or broken. One size (the bottom of the valance size) does all. If you dont have a prying tool to hand, careful use of a fork and a small flathead screwdriver will do. The metal in my Euro style towbar was too thick to safely reinstall the "bumper beam" over top. You need to have a couple of the bolt threads visible and clear of the nuts for full strength. The towbar is allot stronger than the 'bumper beam' so it doesnt matter. This was in the instructions. You wont be taking the towbar off again. I also put blue thread locker on. On my Euro bar it has a hidden swing down tail light plug. And it tells you to cut another hole in the rear valance for that. Don't do this. There's not enough ground/driveway gutter/ multistory carpark clearance for a round plug and it's too far away from the tow bar. And too hard to get to. A rectangular flat plug works better. Or just loose in the luggage compartment.
Hello, this is so cool, where you located? And will you install one on my 2012 Mini Cooper S countryman All 4? If so how much does it cost? Please advise...Thank you
Great video... it was very useful to confirm to me that this is not a basic DIY job - too much to go wrong for an amateur like me. Thank you.

These are some great tips Peter!

My question is can a cooper pull a trailer ok? Thinking about it on mine but re Thinking it 🤔
Ricky, the hitch featured in the video is rated for 2000 lbs GTW which allows you to tow our smaller cargo trailers.
What I mean is the mini powerful enough to haul a small trailer?

Did you ever get an answer to this, because I have the same vehicle and was wondering.
