Match your mini? Probably not IMO. The whole tow hook thing is to mimic a motorsport/racecar look. Your car doesn't really give off the track car feel to me. It's used on track cars because the chance of an off-road excursion is more likely when running fast laps around the track. People put it on their street cars so they can make their cars look like race cars (i guess??)


Do R56 Coopers still come with spare tires like the R50? If so the tow hook is probably down with the spare tire. It should be somewhere back there in the trunk with the other various tools etc.

When I was at the dealership, there was one in the boot under the carpeting in the toolkit. Right next the jack in the foam tray. Wish I had my car already, then I could give a more concrete answer. Of course, if I had my car already, I wouldn't be sitting here surfing the web...
