Purpose and fitment for the Mini Cooper One R55 Clubman

The rear seat backrest has been designed specifically for the Clubman body style, taking into account the characteristic geometry of the rear cabin area. The positioning on the left side (N/S) of the vehicle allows for full functionality of the split-folding rear seat, as well as proper folding and unfolding of the backrest. Thanks to its factory design, the component works seamlessly with original mounts and folding mechanisms, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of poor fitment.

Material, color, and interior character

The upholstery is made of genuine leather, which enhances the perceived quality of the interior and makes the surface easy to keep clean. The black color is versatile and blends well with most MINI styling configurations, whether in more understated or dynamic versions. The leather surface provides stable back support for passengers while giving the interior a distinctly premium feel.

Rear seat functionality

The rear seat backrest plays a key role in the ergonomics of the second row – it is responsible for comfortable passenger positioning and the ability to flexibly configure the cargo space. The component is prepared for use in a standard split-bench layout, which allows for:

• folding the backrest to increase cargo space,
• maintaining the proper structural rigidity of the rear interior section,
• a visually cohesive connection with the seat base and other upholstery elements.

Thanks to its factory origin, the backrest retains the correct geometry and support angle, which translates into comfort during longer journeys.

Condition, origin, and advantages of using a used part

The offered item is an original used part, which means it retains the factory MINI specification while offering cost savings compared to new components. A used rear seat backrest is a sensible choice in situations such as replacement after mechanical damage, upholstery wear, or restoring a vehicle to its near-stock condition after modifications. Using an original component helps avoid issues typical of aftermarket replacements, such as imprecise fitment or differences in material shade.

Interior integration and practical aspects

The black leather rear seat backrest integrates well with factory door panels, headliners, and other interior equipment of the Mini Cooper One R55 Clubman. The design intended for installation in the rear left part of the cabin allows for full functionality of the seat-folding system and easy access to the luggage compartment. This is a practical solution both for daily city driving and for longer trips when frequent operation of the rear seats is necessary.
