Purpose and function of the component

The presented air inlet grille is dedicated to Mini Cooper S R55/R56 models, where it serves as an external inlet in the front part of the hood. Its placement in the front body zone promotes efficient airflow to the engine bay and emphasizes the characteristic sporty design of the S version. The component is shaped to match the hood contours, which facilitates installation and maintains the factory body line.

Appearance and color matching

The grille is finished in the British Racing Green Metallic - 895 / A67 shade, characteristic of sporty Mini variants. The metallic paint ensures consistency with the original body paint, allowing you to avoid color discrepancies when replacing a single component. As a result, the air inlet blends seamlessly with the hood, maintaining a uniform, factory-fresh appearance.

Technical characteristics and installation

The component is designed as an external part mounted in the front section of the hood, taking into account the factory mounting points in the Mini Cooper S R55/R56. The grille construction allows for proper airflow while maintaining adequate rigidity and stability once installed. The product comes from the Mini line, which means compliance with factory dimensional standards and a shape tailored to the original hood.

Condition and service application

As a part from the used category, the air inlet is perfect for replacing a damaged component after a collision, performing body and paint repairs, or restoring the car to a near-factory state. It is a practical solution for users who want to preserve the original character of their Mini Cooper S, avoiding non-factory replacements with different shapes or finishes.
