Trailer Hitch for '03 Mini S R53

I've searched the threads for a source for a trailer hitch for my '03 R53. Every supplier excludes the 'S' models?
Can someone please explain why the S models are excluded?
More important, can someone direct me to a supplier of hitches for the S?
Can the hitches, available for non-S models, be modified...or how I can modify my R53 to their hitches?

And yes, that center exhaust CAN melt your trailer wires, causing much anguish. protect those wires!

We don't exclude the S model. This is the specific hitch for the R53, just have to select the year of your car.
