Purpose and body fitment

The tailgate has been specifically designed for Mini R50 and R53 series models, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures proper alignment with the bumper, lights, and seals, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's original specifications, the component maintains the proper rigidity of the rear bodywork and works in conjunction with other components from the Bumpers and reinforcements group, such as bumper reinforcements or mounting beams.

Color and visual aspect

The tailgate is finished in the British Racing Green Metallic - 895 / A67 shade, characteristic of classic Mini configurations. The metallic paint provides depth of color and consistency with the factory body finish, which is particularly important when replacing a single body panel.

Selecting the correct color helps limit the scope of any potential paint work, and in many cases, allows for installation while maintaining a uniform aesthetic of the vehicle's rear, without visible tonal differences.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a body component mounted in the rear zone of the vehicle, the tailgate is adapted to work with factory hinges, locks, and seals. The design provides for standard mounting points, which facilitates the transfer of hardware from the previous tailgate and shortens service time.

The product comes from the used Mini parts segment, which means it retains its original geometry and compatibility with factory components, while simultaneously providing an economical solution for accident repairs or restoration projects.

Practical application and benefits

The use of this tailgate is particularly beneficial in situations where there has been mechanical or corrosion damage to the rear of the body. Replacing the complete panel allows for the restoration of the correct body line, ensures proper trunk closing, and recreates the vehicle's factory appearance.

Choosing an original component from the Bumpers and reinforcements group minimizes the risk of fitment issues, leaks, or improper lock operation, which translates into stable vehicle operation after the repair.
