Rear Bicycle Carrier Installation

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Accessory kit

The vehicle is already prepared to accommodate the bicycle carrier accessory, which is very simple and quick to install. Obtain the original bicycle carrier kit, ensuring it is exactly suitable for the type of vehicle you own. The bicycle carrier installs at the rear of the vehicle in the pre-drilled holes provided by the manufacturer. The holes are hidden by plastic caps fused into the bodywork but are easily recognisable. Once the caps are removed, insert the two ends of the bicycle carrier into the holes, tighten the securing nuts with a spanner, and the installation is complete. When reversing, remember the bulk of the bicycle carrier.
