Purpose and fitment

The presented fender has been designed specifically for Mini R56/R57 series models, taking into account factory mounting points and the geometry of the front body section. Its placement on the vehicle is the front left side, which guarantees proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and driver's door without the need for structural modifications.

By maintaining the original stamping lines and mounting edges, the component allows for the preservation of factory body geometry, which is important for both aesthetics and the correct distribution of panel gaps.

Color and finish Kite Blue Metallic - B48

The fender comes in the attractive Kite Blue Metallic - B48 color, characteristic of selected Mini configurations. The metallic paint finish provides a modern look and blends well with chrome and black body accents. In many cases, this allows for limiting paintwork to minor touch-ups only, which reduces repair time and costs.

The original factory paint also facilitates matching the appropriate shade when blending adjacent panels, which is essential for body shops focused on maintaining the visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a component from the Front wings group, the product was manufactured according to Mini's factory standards, which translates into proper rigidity, fitment to the front end structure, and compatibility with original mounts. Being a used part means the fender has been previously in service, yet it retains its structural functionality, allowing for continued use after proper installation.

During installation, it is recommended to:

• verify and clean the mounting points before installation,
• check the gaps between the fender and adjacent panels after initial bolting,
• verify the fitment to the wheel arch liner and plastic components within the wheel arch area,
• perform final adjustments before fully tightening the bolts.

Practical application and benefits of choosing a used part

Choosing an original, used Mini fender is a beneficial solution for drivers and workshops that want to combine cost control with the preservation of factory-quality fitment. This type of component is particularly suitable for:

• post-accident repairs of the front left body section,
• removing corrosion or mechanical damage to the factory fender,
• restoring the consistent appearance of the car after local body repairs.

The original construction ensures proper body line alignment, which is important not only visually but also for the future resale of the vehicle – maintaining a factory look is often perceived as an advantage.
