Purpose and fitment for Mini

The presented backrest is dedicated to the front left seat in Mini R50 series models, which allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the driving position and proper cooperation with the seat base and rails. The construction is based on factory mounting points, thanks to which the element integrates with the existing seat frame without the need for interior modifications.

The backrest belongs to the Seats and benches group, which means it is designed with the safety and comfort requirements characteristic of original Mini solutions in mind. This approach facilitates maintaining the stylistic consistency of the cabin and the correct operation of the seat adjustment mechanisms.

Construction and upholstery material

The construction uses fabric upholstery, which provides stable body support while driving and good resistance to daily use. The material structure promotes air circulation, which improves comfort during longer trips and in varied temperature conditions.

The seat backrest has been prepared as a half-leather element, which in practice means a combination of textile material with other finishes within the seat, creating a balanced compromise between aesthetics and functionality. This type of configuration fits well into the character of the Mini interior, combining practicality with a more expressive look.

Condition, functionality and application

The item is offered in Used condition, which makes it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a worn-out backrest, or restoring the interior to its original specification. The used component allows for cost reduction while maintaining factory fitment to the Mini seat structure.

The placement on the vehicle specified as Front, Left clearly indicates that this is a backrest intended for the driver's side. Such designation facilitates the selection of the correct element when planning repairs or interior upgrades, minimizing the risk of ordering errors.

Benefits of using an original seat backrest

• Factory fitment to the Mini seat structure, without the need for modifications.
• Visual consistency with other elements from the Seats and benches group.
• Fabric upholstery ensuring comfort and stable back support.
• Reasonable repair costs thanks to the use of an original used part.
