Question:
I just want to confirm that this trailer hitch fits a Mini Cooper 2013 hardtop with a single exhaust non S version on one side. And the way to access is via the center taillight/foglight.

The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch, # C11272, does indeed fit the 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop with single exhaust, excluding the S Series and Works.
I have attached the installation instructions for you. As you will see in the final steps the bumper will have to be trimmed in order to access the hitch receiver. I have also attached a picture pointing out this location.
Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
If you plan on doing a bit of towing you may also need the following:
Curt Powered Converter with Wiring Kit, # C59236, which provides a 4-way connector at the back of the vehicle.
Ball Mount # C45519
Pin and Clip # F-4
Hitch Ball # C40001 for 1-7/8" and # C40018 for 2"
I have included a few articles for you as well.
