Technical characteristics and fitment

The properly selected weight of the lid promotes the correct operation of the actuators and hinges, and also affects the comfort of opening and closing the trunk.

Construction, function, and application

Boot Trunk Lid Mini Cooper Roadster R59 Trunk Tailgate Kite Blue Metallic performs a key protective and structural function in the rear zone of the vehicle.
