Purpose and fitment

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the Mini R56 series, with the placement defined as Rear. This ensures the retention of factory mounting points, proper edge alignment relative to the fenders and bumper, and compatibility with the vehicle's original hinges, lock, and mounting hardware.

The component comes from the Mini line, which translates to compliance with factory dimensional and technological tolerances. For body shops and individual users, this means a predictable installation process and a reduction in the need for additional modifications.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate comes in the attractive color Sparkling Silver Metallic - A60, characteristic of many Mini configurations. The metallic paint coating blends well with chrome and black body accessories, allowing for a consistent, modern look for the car.

In practice, this color selection makes it easier to match the existing vehicle paintwork – in many cases, correction and polishing are possible instead of a full repaint, which shortens repair time and can reduce costs. For users who care about body aesthetics, this is a beneficial solution that allows for restoring the visual consistency of the rear of the car.

Technical and functional characteristics

As an item from the Tailgates and trunk lids category, this tailgate is responsible for properly closing the luggage compartment, protecting the interior from weather conditions, and maintaining the rigidity of the rear body section. The construction is adapted to work with original seals, lift supports, and the license plate lighting installation.

The product is marked as Used, which in practice means it comes from a vehicle disassembly and may show signs of wear typical for this class of parts. For many body repairs, this is a rational choice – it allows for maintaining the factory construction and fitment while limiting costs compared to a new component.

Identification parameters and compatibility

The tailgate has an assigned SKU and OEM part number, as well as relevant interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in catalogs and service systems. Thanks to this, the workshop can quickly verify compatibility with a specific equipment version and model year of the Mini R56, minimizing the risk of selecting the wrong component.

For users planning self-installation, it is important that the product belongs to the Tailgates and trunk lids group, which clearly defines its function and installation location in the vehicle. Combined with the color designation and mounting position, this allows for precise planning of the scope of body and paint work.

Use in repairs and upgrades

The tailgate in Sparkling Silver Metallic - A60 will work well both for post-accident repairs and for replacing a corroded or mechanically damaged component. In many cases, it is an effective way to restore full functionality of the trunk, improve body sealing, and recreate the original Mini styling line.
