Purpose and fitment

The presented door card trim has been designed specifically for Mini R50 series models, taking into account the geometry of the front right door. This ensures a proper fit to the metal shape, factory mounting points, and other trim elements such as the door handle, armrest, or speaker grilles. As a result, the installation process is straightforward, and once installed, the panel creates a seamless surface with the dashboard and door sill.

Color and finish: Royal Grey Metallic - A48

The Royal Grey Metallic - A48 color is a characteristic, subtle shade of grey with a metallic effect, often found in original Mini configurations. Using this color for the door card:

• facilitates maintaining a uniform interior style,
• reduces the visibility of minor dirt and signs of wear,
• blends well with both light and dark cockpit elements.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a single panel after bodywork repairs or interior upgrades, where achieving an effect as close as possible to the factory configuration is desired.

Functional characteristics and installation

As an item from the Door panels category, the door card performs several important technical and functional roles. It is responsible for aesthetically covering the door structure, integrating handles and controls, and providing partial acoustic insulation. In practice, this translates into:

• organized routing of cables and mechanisms inside the door,
• increased acoustic comfort inside the vehicle,
• stable support for the driver's or passenger's forearm.

The vehicle placement defined as front – right side allows for unambiguous identification of the mounting position and reduces the risk of errors when selecting the part. This is especially important during workshop work, where precise component fitment is essential.

Used condition and service application

The trim is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for accident repairs, replacing a damaged door card, or restoring a car to a condition close to the original without the need to invest in new parts. In practice, such a component is suitable in situations where:

• the original panel has been damaged mechanically or during disassembly,
• it is necessary to replace a single door card on the passenger side,
• the priority is to maintain the factory look of the Mini interior.

By retaining the original construction and color scheme, the element fits well into the existing cabin equipment without the need to modify other panels.

Integration with other Mini door panels
