MINI R50 R52 R53 17mm Ball Mount | MagSafe Phone Holder | Left or Right | 3D Printed ABS

Keep Your Phone in Sight. Keep Your Eyes on the Road.
Your first-gen MINI deserves a phone mount that matches its character — not some universal clip-on that wobbles on every bend. This 17mm ball mount integrates directly into the factory lower dash trim, placing your phone at the perfect height: visible for navigation, reachable for calls, never blocking your view. Snap your MagSafe iPhone straight on, or use the included metal ring for any other device.

Key Features & Your Benefits:

  • True OEM-Integration Mount: Replaces two factory trim screws with the mount sandwiched cleanly underneath. No suction cups peeling off. No vent clips snapping under weight. No adhesive residue on your classic MINI's dashboard.

  • 30-Second Install: Remove the two screws on the lower dash trim, position the mount, thread the original factory screws back through. Done. No drilling. No permanent modifications. Fully reversible.

  • Built-In MagSafe Magnet Ring: Equipped with a high-strength neodymium (rare earth) magnetic ring. iPhone 12 and newer models snap on instantly with perfect alignment — no metal plate needed unless you use a non-MagSafe case. Holds firm through spirited cornering.

  • Universal Phone Compatibility: Every other phone is covered too. The included adhesive metal ring works with any device, any case, any brand — Android, older iPhones, rugged work phones.

  • Doubles as a Gauge Mount: The 17mm ball is a standard size. Mount your Ultragauge, GPS navigator, or action camera — same mount, multiple uses.

  • Left or Right Mounting — Your Choice: Designed for both LHD and RHD MINIs. We recommend mounting on the passenger side of the centre console for optimal line of sight. RHD vehicles: left side. LHD vehicles: right side. Need help deciding? Message us.

  • 3D Printed ABS — Built for Car Interiors: ABS withstands summer heat without warping, resists impacts, and delivers a smooth, near-OEM surface finish. This is not brittle PLA — it's engineered for real automotive use.
