Purpose and function of the component

The presented flap is dedicated to the Mini Cooper R60 model and is mounted in the rear, right part of the bumper. Its task is to aesthetically close the towing eye opening and protect the inside of the bumper from dirt and moisture. Thanks to its precise fit to the Mini's body lines, the component allows for maintaining the factory look of the rear bumper after repair or replacement of a damaged cover.

Color and visual fit

The cover is finished in Astro Black Metallic – A25, which allows for a consistent match to the body paint in this color specification. The metallic coating provides a characteristic, deep shade of black with a subtle pearlescent effect, ensuring that after proper installation, the flap blends harmoniously with the bumper surface without visible tonal differences.

Installation and technical aspects

The component is prepared for installation in the factory mounting points provided for the Mini Cooper R60, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged or missing flap without the need for bumper modifications. The placement on the rear right side allows for quick restoration of the bumper's exterior completeness, and proper fitment reduces the risk of looseness and unwanted vibrations while driving.

Condition and service application

The product is used, making it a practical solution for post-accident repairs, body service, or replacing missing elements in a Mini Cooper R60. Choosing an original flap from this group allows you to maintain compliance with the factory bumper geometry and avoid fitment issues typical of lower-precision aftermarket replacements.
