Purpose and fitment

The presented grille is designed for installation in the front bumper area, in the factory-designated location. The design corresponds to the post-facelift (LCI) versions of the Mini S R55 and R56 models, which facilitates fitting to the original mounting points and bumper lines.

The component belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, allowing it to work seamlessly with the factory beam, bumper cover, and other front-end body components. The properly selected shape of the grille helps maintain the correct airflow direction and an aesthetic finish for the vehicle's front.

Color and body aesthetics

The grille is finished in the Reef Blue Metallic - B30 shade, characteristic of selected Mini configurations. This allows for color consistency with the bumper, hood, and other body elements, without the need for additional painting when the vehicle's color version is matched correctly.

The metallic paint emphasizes the dynamic character of the S version, and the properly designed structure of the grille gives the front of the car a more expressive, orderly look. It is a practical solution for both post-accident repairs and visual refreshing of the vehicle's front.

Technical characteristics and installation

The grille is a component intended for installation in the front bumper area. The design provides for cooperation with factory mounts and guides, which facilitates installation in workshop or service conditions. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, it is possible to achieve proper alignment with the bumper cover and adjacent body elements.

The product has a dedicated part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. Before installation, it is recommended to compare the shape and mounting points with the removed part to ensure full compliance with the given Mini configuration.

Condition and service application

The item is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for economical repairs, front-end reconstruction after a collision, or restoring the car to a factory-like condition. Using an original grille from the same model group allows for maintaining proper fitment and the characteristic look of the S version.

This solution is particularly useful in situations where the priority is to combine correct functionality, compliance with factory styling, and rational repair costs within the front bumper area.
