Purpose and fitment for Mini

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the Mini Cooper R56, maintaining factory geometry and mounting points.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, key mounting parameters are preserved, which facilitates work for body shops and service centers specializing in the Mini brand.

Astro Black Metallic - A25 color and aesthetic values

The factory Astro Black Metallic - A25 color is a distinctive, dark metallic paint often found on Mini models, which blends well with both light and dark styling accessories. Using the original shade allows for limiting the scope of painting work solely to potential touch-ups, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. For users who care about a consistent body appearance, this is a beneficial solution when replacing a damaged trunk lid.

Characteristics of the used component

The tailgate comes from the used parts segment, which represents a reasonable compromise between price and functionality. The used Mini body component maintains a construction consistent with the original, while allowing for an economical repair of the vehicle after a collision or corrosion. Such components are frequently chosen by workshops specializing in post-accident repairs and by conscious users who are looking for a factory fit without the need to invest in a new part.

Benefits of using an original tailgate

Using an original Mini tailgate in Astro Black Metallic brings a number of practical advantages:

• maintaining the factory body line and correct gaps between elements,
• easier adjustment of the lock and hinges due to compliance with the manufacturer's design,
• limiting the scope of painting due to the matched color,
• the possibility of using existing components mounted to the tailgate (e.g., seals, hardware) in accordance with the vehicle configuration.

For service centers and users, this means a more efficient assembly process and greater predictability of the final result after body repair.
