Updated 06/01/2020 | Published 05/28/2020
Question:
have a question about hitch and hard form . I removed the bumper today for preparation for hitch installation. The bumper has the hard foam but it is wedge between the front and back metal bumper with a full metal back hard foam cannot be accessed for trim. I can send pictures but want to make sure hitch will fit the 2010 mini cooper convertible single exhaust.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11160 is a fit for a 2010 Mini Cooper Convertible with single exhaust. In regards to installation, there is a metal divider panel that will need to be removed if present. Once removed, this should then make for the needed space to trim the foam absorber. I have attached a photo which should help explain this.
