Purpose and fitment

The presented panel is designed for installation in the rear section of the Mini R52 Cabrio Cooper S, replacing the factory bumper integrated with the PDC parking sensor system. The construction corresponds to the solutions used by the manufacturer, which ensures proper alignment with the bodywork, lights, and mounting elements.

Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle means the component is responsible for both protecting the vehicle structure during minor collisions and providing an aesthetic finish to the body lines characteristic of the Cabrio Cooper S version.

Technical characteristics and color

The panel belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning it serves a protective and structural function in the rear of the vehicle. It has been prepared for the installation of equipment typical for versions with PDC, allowing for the retention of parking assistance system functionality after replacing the part.

The Cool Blue Metallic - A27 color is a factory metallic finish from Mini, allowing for paint consistency with the rest of the body panels. For many users, this is crucial during accident or cosmetic repairs, as it limits the need for a full repaint of the entire bumper, provided the vehicle's shade matches the paint code.

Condition and practical application

The item is offered as a used part, which provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original Mini manufacturer specifications. Such components are particularly valued for vehicle repairs where the priority is to maintain the factory appearance and correct mounting geometry.

The panel can be used both for accident repairs and body restoration when the existing bumper is mechanically damaged or requires replacement for aesthetic reasons. The appropriately selected weight and construction support stable mounting to the factory points in the rear of the vehicle.

Benefits of installing an original Mini panel

• Factory fitment – construction compliant with Mini solutions facilitates proper installation in the rear zone.
• Consistent body color – Cool Blue Metallic - A27 paint makes it easier to maintain a uniform vehicle appearance.
• Affordable alternative to new parts – a used component allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining original specifications.
• PDC preparation – panel designed to work with parking sensors in the Cooper S Cabrio version.
