Purpose and fitment

The presented rear bumper panel has been designed specifically for the Cabrio version of the Mini R52 in the Cooper S trim, taking into account the factory PDC system. The precise profiling of the edges and mounting holes allows for correct seating of the bumper in the rear body zone without the need for any modifications to the vehicle's structure. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear area ensures compatibility with factory mounting points and reinforcement elements.

Color and finish

The Astro Black Metallic - A25 finish ensures consistency with the original Mini paint palette, which facilitates visual matching when replacing a damaged part. The metallic paint structure works well with the light lines on the body, emphasizing the characteristic silhouette of the Cooper S Cabrio. Using the factory shade minimizes the scope of any potential paint work or allows for precise planning.

Technical specifications and installation

The rear bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning it serves both an aesthetic and structural function in the rear of the vehicle. The adaptation for the PDC system allows for the transfer of the original parking sensors, maintaining their correct position and operation. The panel construction is prepared for installation at factory mounting points, which facilitates service work and reduces the time required for part replacement.

The product has a specific weight that is adapted to the structural requirements of the Mini body, ensuring it does not negatively affect the vehicle's weight distribution or the performance of reinforcement elements. As a used part, the bumper is a reasonable choice for post-accident or restoration repairs, allowing for the preservation of the original geometry of the rear body zone.

Practical application and benefits

The use of this bumper is particularly beneficial in situations where the rear part of the body has been damaged, and the priority is to maintain the factory appearance and the correct operation of the parking sensors. The proper fit for the Mini R52 Cabrio Cooper S reduces the risk of installation issues, and the OEM construction promotes the maintenance of correct gaps between body panels. As a result, the vehicle can regain a consistent, aesthetic appearance and full functionality of the rear zone after repair.
