Purpose and fitment for Mini Cooper One R50

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the Mini Cooper One R50 model, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points in the rear of the car. This ensures the correct body line, proper fitment with the fender, and compatibility with the standard fuel filler opening and closing mechanism.

By using an original design, the component ensures:

• proper adhesion to the bodywork,
• stable seating in factory mounts,
• maintenance of functionality in daily vehicle operation.

Solid Gold Metallic - 859 color and aesthetic value

The flap is finished in the Solid Gold Metallic - 859 shade, characteristic of selected Mini configurations. As a result, it forms a visually cohesive element with the rest of the body in the same color, which limits the need for additional paint work when replacing a damaged part.

Selecting a component in the correct color is not only important for aesthetics but also practical – it allows for shorter repair times and reduces costs associated with matching the paint coating to the existing paint on the bodywork.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an element from the Fuel filler covers and accessories group, the flap is responsible for protecting the fuel filler from external contaminants and weather conditions. A correctly selected and installed part helps maintain the proper tightness of the filler area, which is important for the long-term operation of the fuel system.

The product comes from disassembly, which means it is a used part that retains its factory geometry and is intended for reinstallation. In practice, this allows for an economical body repair while maintaining the original character of the vehicle.

Installation zone – rear of the vehicle

The flap is intended for installation in the rear part of the body, at the location of the factory fuel filler. The appropriate placement on the vehicle facilitates the replacement process – the mechanic or user has a clearly defined work zone, and the operation itself comes down to removing the old element and installing the new one in the existing mounting points.

Support with selection and technical materials

Proper selection of components related to the refueling system is important for the safety and durability of the vehicle. To better understand the relationships between individual components, it is worth reading the guide material on the diagnostics and operation of the fuel system – it is discussed in detail in the article Fuel system – injectors, pumps, and fuel tank: maintenance and regeneration.
