Howdy all,
Hot Orange 07 R52 Cabrio S

We started about 9 am and just finished at 13:45. Installed the trailer hitch and the wiring harness. In all, it went pretty well. A few observations:
1. Well lookie there - I have a locking nut on the wheels. The adapter was in the glove box.
2. Taking off the boot door made taking the bumper on and off much easier.
3. The hitch is nicely made with a beautiful gloss powdercoat. I hate that it hides so well under the bumper!
4. The rear lower fog lamp in the bumper hides the hitch beautifully
5. With the bumper retaining 8mm nut in place, it is damn near impossible to put in and remove the hitch pin. Leaving it out for the moment.
6. The velcro was on the wrong side of the wiring box. Easy to fix.
7. Many of the torx screws holding the interior panels on were finger loose. Was it made on a Friday?

Anyway, I bought from mini-do-more based on previous posts and because it is clear the Curt hitch was a ripoff. I am happy with the install except that it is completely invisible! I wish I could show off that nice black gloss. Anyway, other than being 1 splicer short (I had some from a prev job) everything was there. I am a 5/10 mechanic and it was easy.

Any pictures of the install?
