Purpose and Fitment

The cover is dedicated to facelifted (LCI) Mini R56 models and is installed in the rear right section of the bumper. Thanks to its factory shape and proper mounting profile, it ensures a secure fit in the tow hook opening without the need for modifications or forceful adjustments. This is a solution for users who want to preserve the original bumper appearance and avoid non-factory modifications.

Color and Finish

The part is finished in Midnight Black Metallic - A94, characteristic of Mini paints. The metallic black blends well with the factory body paint, minimizing the need for additional painting after installation (in practice, standard bumper matching and polishing are often sufficient). This allows the cover to quickly restore a cohesive, tidy look to the rear of the vehicle.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The cover is a used part, meaning it retains its original geometry and factory mountings. Such parts are often chosen by Mini owners because they:

• ensure factory fitment to the bumper,
• help reduce repair costs compared to new parts,
• maintain visual consistency with other body elements.

For many Mini R56 LCI owners, this is a practical way to aesthetically replace a missing cover after a previous tow hook installation or bumper repairs.

Application in the Bumper System

As a component from the Bumpers and Reinforcements group, the cover serves a protective and aesthetic function. It covers the technological opening, limits dirt accumulation around the tow hook mounting, and enhances the visual appeal of the vehicle's rear. A correctly installed cover does not affect the tow hook's operation – it can be removed if necessary to access the attachment point.

Part Selection by Numbers and Brand

To ensure correct fitment, it is advisable to verify the cover's compatibility with your Mini model based on the OEM part number and available replacement numbers. This helps avoid installation issues and guarantees proper bumper alignment. The product is from the Mini OE line, meaning it meets the manufacturer's factory standards.
