Technical Specifications and Fitment

This part belongs to the Bumpers and Reinforcements category and is intended for installation on the rear of the Mini body. The construction is designed specifically for the Cooper S version with the Aerokit package, meaning precisely shaped contours, lines for the diffuser, and proper edge alignment with the lights and tailgate.

The complete panel, prepared for PDC parking sensors, allows for the retention of the factory parking assist system's functionality without requiring modifications to the bumper's structure. The appropriately selected weight of the component promotes stable mounting and correct integration with the factory mounting points.

Midnight Black Metallic A94 Paint Finish

The Midnight Black Metallic A94 color is a distinctive, deep black with a metallic effect, often found on trim levels with a more dynamic character. This finish gives the rear of the vehicle a cohesive, understated look that complements both light and dark styling accents.

To maintain optimal visual quality, it is recommended to match the paint finish to the rest of the body using professional color matching systems. This ensures the bumper can become an integral part of a complete Mini body renovation or modification without noticeable shade differences.

Practical Application and Installation

The Cooper S Aerokit rear bumper is designed for installation in place of the original part, utilizing the factory mounting points on the body. This design simplifies service work and reduces replacement time, which is important for both professional workshops and smaller body and paint shops.

The part can be used for:

• Repairing accident damage to the rear of the body,
• Converting the car to the Cooper S Aerokit specification,
• Visually refreshing the vehicle while maintaining the original body geometry.

The used nature of the part allows for an economical restoration of the rear body section's full functionality while preserving the original Mini design.

Benefits of Using an Original Mini Bumper

Using an original bumper from the Aerokit package ensures proper fitment with body elements such as wheel arches, the tailgate, and trim strips. This minimizes the risk of leaks, unwanted gaps, and stress at the mounting points.
