Application and function in the bodywork

The presented hinge is designed for the left side of the vehicle, responsible for the stable opening and closing of the hood in Mini F55, F56, and F57 models. The component operates in the front zone, connecting the body's support structure with the engine hood, which is significant for both safety and the convenience of accessing the engine compartment.

Thanks to the original design, the hinge works with factory mounting points, which limits the need for additional adjustments and allows for the efficient restoration of proper hood operation after bodywork repairs or hood replacement.

British Racing Green Metallic color – visual matching

The component is finished in British Racing Green Metallic, characteristic of many Mini versions. This finish facilitates aesthetic matching to the existing hood or other body elements painted in the same shade, which may reduce the scope of additional painting work.

The metallic paint structure ensures consistency with the vehicle's factory appearance while maintaining a uniform visual character for the entire front of the body.

Original origin and technical parameters

The hinge comes from the BMW group, which means compliance with factory quality and fitment standards for Mini F55/F56/F57 models. The original origin translates into proper geometry, appropriate rigidity, and compatibility with the stock hood and mounting elements.

The product has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verifying compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration in manufacturer catalogs or parts selection systems.

Condition, installation, and benefits of use

This is a used part, which allows for an economical repair of the front zone while maintaining the original construction. The hinge is suitable for use as a replacement for a damaged component following a collision, hood deformation, or mechanical wear of the opening mechanism.

The main benefits of using this hinge include:

• factory fitment for the Mini F55/F56/F57 structure,
• maintenance of proper hood operation after correct installation and adjustment,
• possibility of limiting the scope of painting due to color compatibility with the body,
• cost-effective repair compared to purchasing a new component.
