Intended Use and Function of the Part

The hinge presented is dedicated to the Mini Cooper R52 Cabrio model and is mounted on the left side of the trunk lid. It is responsible for the correct guidance and support of the lid, as well as for stable opening and closing of the trunk during everyday use. By retaining the factory mounting points, the part allows for the restoration of the original body line and proper alignment of the lid with the rear of the car body.

Paint Color and Matching

The hinge is factory finished in Hot Orange Metallic – A26, which facilitates matching with a Mini body in the same shade. In many cases, this can reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting, shortening repair time and lowering costs. The metallic paint finish is matched to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring visual consistency with other body parts.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The left trunk lid hinge for the Mini Cooper R52 Cabrio has been designed as a structural component that works with the factory trunk lid and its lifting mechanism. The appropriate geometry of the arm and mounting points ensures:

• correct lid guidance throughout its range of motion,
• stable holding of the lid in the closed and open positions,
• compatibility with original body mounting holes,
• installation using standard workshop tools.

The part is from a dismantled vehicle, meaning it is a used part that retains the original manufacturer's construction. Before installation, a standard inspection of the working surfaces, mounting points, and potential adjustment of the lid's position is recommended to achieve even gaps and proper closing.

Application in Mini Body Repairs

The left trunk lid hinge in Hot Orange Metallic – A26 is particularly suitable for post-accident repairs and for replacing damaged parts of the trunk opening mechanism. Using an original hinge allows for:

• maintaining the factory line and geometry of the rear body section,
• reducing the risk of improper closing or the lid rubbing against the body,
• maintaining color consistency for bodies in the Hot Orange Metallic shade,
• minimizing the scope of additional bodywork and painting.

Condition of the Part and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered hinge is a used part, sourced from a dismantled Mini vehicle. Choosing such a solution is beneficial when the priority is to maintain original construction and fit while limiting repair costs. This type of part is particularly valued in workshops specializing in the Mini brand and by users who care about the visual and technical consistency of their vehicle.
