I'm trying to find a rear hitch mount for my 2010 Clubman and all I can find are the ones that stick out of the rear license plate (don't like). Does anyone have one mounted differently? Website to find them?

My husband would like to install one without ripping the back bumper apart. It's only for 2 mountain bikes so if it's that much of a hassle I'll scrap the idea!

 

try minifini.com they have a hitch that mounts differently, but then you have to buy all of their accessory mounts. regardless of the hitch brand, I think the bumper will have to come off. the car is all plastic back there and the hitch has to mount to something solid.

 

The only Hitch Mounts available are going ot have to have holes put thru the rear bumper somewhere.

Mini Do More and Curt are almost exactly alike with the hitch coming out from behind the license plate.

MiniFini has as completely different mounting system and requires two(2) holes. One on either side of the license plate. Then you have to purchase their adapters to attache anything to the hitch mounting points.

Part of the reason for the hitch mount coming thru the rear bumper is that there is so little room under the car and there other objects in the way of making the hitch come out from under the rear bumper.

 

And By the way to mount ANY hitch to the MINI Clubman the rear Bumper MUST be removed. There is no place to mount a hitch if the rear bumper is not removed.

 

Well the hidden part is nice for most of time its not in use. The only disadvantage I see is that you need to work underneath to insert the hitch pin each time.
