Purpose and fitment

The presented bumper is structurally prepared for installation in the front body zone of the Mini R55/R56 series. Based on factory geometry, it allows for maintaining correct body lines, mounting gaps, and compatibility with standard fastening elements, lighting, and equipment located in the front fascia.

Its placement on the vehicle in the front body area facilitates the precise restoration of the car's original appearance after a collision or during body and paint repairs, without the need for structural modifications.

Midnight Black Metallic - A94 paint finish

The Midnight Black Metallic - A94 color is a factory metallic shade from Mini that ensures consistency with the original body paint. The metallic structure of the coating promotes uniform light reflection, which improves visual color depth and facilitates matching with other body panels.

Such a finish is particularly beneficial for repairs where maintaining a uniform aesthetic of the vehicle's front is desired, without visible tonal differences between the bumper and the fenders or hood.

Technical and assembly characteristics

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning it has been designed to work with factory mounting points and reinforcement elements in the front zone. The design provides for integration with standard body components, which facilitates work for body shops and workshops specializing in the Mini brand.

The product has a specific weight, optimized to maintain the proper mass distribution in the front part of the vehicle. As a result, it does not negatively affect handling characteristics or the operation of suspension and steering system components.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The bumper is offered as a used item, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing such a solution is advantageous both in terms of cost and fitment to Mini's factory standards.

The original origin of the bumper helps maintain proper body geometry and facilitates installation without the need for additional modifications. It is a practical solution for workshops and users who expect a reasonable compromise between price and quality.
