Purpose and fitment

The presented trunk lid has been designed specifically for Mini R52 series models, taking into account factory mounting points and the geometry of the rear body section. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle ensures proper fitment with the bumper, lights, and seals, which facilitates achieving correct panel gaps and trunk compartment sealing.

Thanks to the use of an original design, compatibility with factory hinges, the lock, and accessory wiring is maintained, which translates into predictable installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Color and paint properties

The trunk lid is finished in the factory Cool Blue Metallic - A27 shade, characteristic of selected Mini configurations. The metallic paint coating provides an aesthetic, uniform gloss and blends well with the body lines, which helps to limit the scope of potential paintwork required to match the existing bodywork.

Selecting a component with the same paint code is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where maintaining a consistent vehicle appearance and minimizing vehicle downtime in the workshop is a priority.

Technical characteristics and installation

The trunk lid from this offer belongs to the Trunk lids and rear parts group, meaning it has been constructed to withstand the loads resulting from daily use – frequent opening, closing, and the operation of the locking mechanism. The construction is intended for installation in the rear body zone, maintaining factory mounting and routing points.

With proper installation, it is possible to:

• achieve the correct geometry of the rear body section,
• maintain the sealing of the trunk compartment,
• ensure proper operation with actuators and the lock,
• maintain the factory Mini styling line.

As a used component, it allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Practical application and benefits

The use of this trunk lid is particularly advantageous in the case of post-accident repairs, correction of mechanical damage to the rear of the vehicle, or replacing a component due to corrosion. Choosing an original Mini trunk lid enables:

• preservation of the factory shape and body lines,
• easier adjustment of gaps relative to adjacent panels,
• reduction of the risk of issues with closing the trunk,
• maintenance of consistent aesthetics thanks to the matching paint color.

For body shops and individual users, this means a predictable installation process and fewer adjustments when fitting the component.
