Purpose and fitment for MINI Countryman R60

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the MINI Countryman R60 model, taking into account the characteristic geometry of the rear fender and the shape of the filler recess. Its placement in the rear part of the body allows for trouble-free installation in place of the factory component, without the need for modifying the bodywork or mounting brackets.

The original origin from the Mini brand means maintaining the correct installation clearances, compatibility with the standard opening mechanism, and proper adhesion to the paint surface, which reduces the risk of contaminants entering the fuel filler area.

Pure Red - B16 color and body aesthetics

The flap is finished in the factory Pure Red - B16 color, used in the MINI palette. Thanks to this, the component can be used both as a replacement part after damage and as part of cosmetic work on the body, when you want to maintain the original paint configuration.

Selecting a flap in the identical paint code allows you to avoid shade differences between body elements, which is particularly important for precise body and paint repairs. In the case of MINI, where design and visual consistency are important aspects, the correct color of the fuel filler flap has a real impact on the final aesthetic effect.

Technical characteristics and installation

The element belongs to the Fuel filler covers and accessories group, which means it has been designed to protect the fuel filler zone from external factors and ensure convenient access during refueling. The flap construction is adapted to the standard hinge and opening mechanism used in the MINI Countryman R60, which facilitates installation in workshop or service conditions.

The product is offered as a used part, which in practice allows for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Proper fitment with the body limits the need for additional adjustments, and the use of factory mounting points shortens the working time when replacing a damaged flap.

Selection by numbers and compatibility

The MINI Countryman R60 fuel filler flap has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. When selecting the element, it is worth using the manufacturer's markings to avoid problems with matching the shape, mounts, and color.
