Application and fitment for MINI Cooper R57 R58 R59

The presented flap is a part from the Fuel filler covers and accessories group, designed specifically for the R57, R58, and R59 generations of the MINI Cooper. This ensures a proper fit to the factory body socket, maintenance of correct geometry, and compatibility with the stock fuel filler opening and closing mechanism.

Thanks to a design that meets manufacturer standards, installation is predictable – the flap works with the original hinges and mounting elements, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged part without the need for bodywork modifications.

Eclipse Grey Metallic – B24 color and body aesthetics

The flap is finished in Eclipse Grey Metallic - B24, a color characteristic of selected MINI configurations. The metallic shade of grey fits well into the styling line of these models, allowing for visual consistency with the remaining body panels.

In the case of post-accident repairs or spot renovation, using a component in the same paint code limits the scope of painting and makes it easier to match the color. This is a practical solution for both body shops and users who care about the vehicle's aesthetics.

Component characteristics and condition

The fuel filler flap comes from original BMW production, which translates into maintaining factory dimensional tolerances and appropriate component rigidity. This is a used aftermarket part in Used condition, which in practice means it may show signs of previous use, but retains the functionality required for further operation.

Its original origin ensures proper fitment with the MINI body and compatibility with stock fuel system components around the filler. For the user, this means predictable installation and no issues with closing or leaks around the fuel cap.

Benefits of using an original fuel filler flap

• Factory fitment for the MINI Cooper R57, R58, R59 body – no modifications required.
• Original BMW manufacturing quality – stable mounting and correct geometry.
• Color consistent with the Eclipse Grey Metallic – B24 paint code, facilitating bodywork repairs.
• Predictable operation of the fuel filler opening and closing mechanism.
• A reasonable solution for post-accident repairs and replacing a damaged cover.

Part selection by numbers and technical support

For the correct selection of the flap for a specific MINI version, it is worth using the OEM part number and available replacement numbers – this allows you to verify compatibility with a specific body configuration and model year. In case of doubt, identifying the vehicle by its VIN is also a good point of reference.

To better understand the relationships between power supply elements and equipment around the fuel tank, it is worth checking out the guide on 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, where you will find practical tips on selecting components by OEM numbers.
