Purpose and fitment

The presented tailgate is designed specifically for the Mini Countryman R60 model and is mounted in the rear body area. Thanks to its construction in accordance with factory Mini standards, it ensures proper alignment with the body lines, correct edge guidance, and appropriate positioning relative to the bumper and taillights.

The component belongs to the Boot lids and tailgates group, which means it is adapted to withstand the operational loads typical for this zone – frequent opening, closing, and the operation of seals and hinges.

Technical and visual characteristics

The tailgate is manufactured as a structural element of the rear body, ensuring the rigidity and stability of the luggage compartment closure. The paint used in the Royal Grey Metallic - A48 shade is a characteristic metallic Mini color, which allows for visual consistency with the rest of the body panels.

The metallic paint coating provides an attractive optical effect in daylight and artificial light, while also facilitating matching during any supplementary paint work. The tailgate is prepared for operation in the rear zone of the vehicle, where tightness, proper water drainage, and cooperation with seals and the lock are essential.

Benefits of using an original Mini tailgate

Using an original Mini tailgate in the Countryman R60 model allows for maintaining the factory body geometry, which is important for both aesthetics and proper closing of the trunk. Proper fitment to hinges, the lock, and mounting elements reduces the need for additional modifications during installation.

A used body component is a cost-effective solution that also allows for maintaining high-quality body repair. In many cases, this enables limiting the scope of paint work to a minimum, which translates into a shorter vehicle downtime in the workshop.

Application in body repair and restoration

The tailgate in Royal Grey Metallic - A48 is suitable for both standard post-accident repairs and the restoration of the Mini Countryman R60 body. It can be used when replacing a damaged element after a collision, correcting corrosion in the rear part of the body, or during a comprehensive vehicle rebuild.

Selecting a tailgate in the correct color and with the proper placement on the vehicle facilitates the work of the body technician and painter, and also allows for maintaining a consistent look of the car after the repair is completed. This is particularly important for cars where both functionality and the characteristic, recognizable Mini style matter.
