  The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11387, is a Class I hitch with a SAE J684 Certification.

• What is the Curt Stabilizing Strap for and Where can I Find It
  The Curt Strap, part # 18050, attaches to the bike rack then back to the trunk lid or hatch. This is to prevent the loaded bike rack from torquing down and twisting the hitch. I have added a link to the part below.

• Recommended License Plate Holder For 2009 Mini Clubman When Using Trailer Hitch
  When a hitch like part # C11387 is installed the receiver winds up in the middle of the license plate location so customers are faced with either relocating the plate or removing it. I do have a solution for you though. To solve your license plate issue you may want to use a bracket like part # 32-0055. Although intended for bull bars, we have had customers modify the bracket to drop the license plate lower which may work for you on your Mini.

  In order to insert the hitch pin through the bike rack and hitch receiver on Curt Trailer Hitch # C11387 on a 2010 Mini Clubman, you would have to reach up underneath the rear bumper.

• Can Curt Hitch C11130 Be Fitted to 2011 Mini Clubman and 2010 Cooper S Series
  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...

• Hitch Receiver and 2-Bike Hitch Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Mini Clubman
  We can assist you with selecting both a hitch receiver and compatible bike carrier for your 2009 Mini Clubman. A hitch-mounted bike carrier is a good choice since your Clubman is not an ideal match for trunk-mount type bike carriers due to its light sheet metal which can be dented by the weight of a loaded trunk carrier. First, for your hitch I recommend the Curt 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch, part # C11387. This hitch can support 200 pounds tongue weight (TW) which is more than enough to...

• Sensor Behind Bumper In the Way of Drilling Hole for Trailer Hitch on 2009 Mini Clubman S
  The device that you are seeing is a sensor of some kind. It should not be in the way since the hole is supposed to go basically through the middle of where the license plate would be. However on yours it does appear that it may be in the way. It looks as though the sensor is supposed to be higher or lower than it is in the picture. There may be a way to move the sensor enough to to drill the hole. If you find there is no where to move the sensor I recommend contacting a Mini dealer and...

• Will a Trailer Hitch from a 2009 Mini Clubman Fit a 2011 Mini Countryman
  Curt hitch # C11130 is for the Mini Cooper not the Clubman or the Countryman. I think you might have Curt hitch # C11387 which looks very similar and fits the 2009 Clubman but not the 2011 Mini Countryman. The 2011 Mini Countryman is going to need a hitch designed specifically for it such as # C11333. I linked a video showing an example installation of the Curt hitch. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, then you have to make sure the accessory...

• Where Does the Rear License Plate Go with Trailer Hitch # C11387 Installed on a 2009 Mini Clubman
  With the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11387, installed on a Mini Clubman, the receiver tube is directly behind the license plate area on the back and you are left with 2 options for the license plate.

This is the method that Curt shows in the installation instructions which I have linked for you.
