Purpose and fitment for Mini

The presented wing has been designed specifically for Mini Cooper R56 and R57 generation models, taking into account the characteristic body lines and the car's compact proportions. The placement on the vehicle, defined as the front left side, ensures proper fitment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and driver's door, which is crucial for maintaining correct panel gaps and body aesthetics.

Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color

The factory Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color is a distinctive metallic silver shade used on Mini vehicles, which highlights the body shapes and complements other styling elements of the car. Using an original paint in this shade:

• makes it easier to match the existing vehicle paintwork,
• reduces the scope of potential paint work required after installation,
• allows for a faster restoration of the aesthetic appearance of the front body section.

Technical characteristics and installation

The wing belongs to the Front wings group, which means it is responsible for protecting the front wheel and internal wheel arch components from water, mud, and minor mechanical damage. The design, tailored to the Mini, allows for installation at factory mounting points while maintaining the original body geometry. As a result, after correct installation, it is possible to achieve even gaps between the wing and adjacent panels as well as the correct character lines.

The product is in Used condition, which in practice means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of previous use, yet it retains the structural functionality necessary for further use after proper installation and potential surface preparation.

Practical application and benefits

Using this wing on a Mini Cooper R56 or R57 is particularly beneficial in the case of post-accident repairs, correcting parking damage, or body restoration. Choosing an original body component allows you to:

• maintain dimensional compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications,
• preserve the characteristic Mini styling line,
• minimize the time required for fitting and adjustment during installation.

Thanks to this wing, it is possible to restore the correct appearance and protective function of the front left body section without the need for universal solutions or those requiring significant modifications.
