Purpose and Fitment for Mini R50

The presented fender has been specifically designed for Mini R50 models, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement on the vehicle is specified as front, right side, which facilitates unambiguous part selection during accident repairs or bodywork restoration.

Thanks to its construction, which aligns with the manufacturer's solutions, the fender ensures proper fitment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and passenger door. This minimizes the need for additional bodywork modifications and reduces installation time in a professional service center or body shop.

Dark Silver Metallic - 871 Color and Aesthetic Value

The Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color is a distinctive metallic silver shade used in the Mini range, which effectively accentuates body contours and crease lines. Applying paint with the same color code allows for:

• maintaining visual consistency across the entire side of the vehicle,
• limiting the scope of painting to the essential minimum,
• easier shade matching during paint coating restoration.

This is particularly important in repairs where the goal is to restore the car's original appearance as faithfully as possible and maintain its market value.

Part Characteristics and Installation

The fender belongs to the group of body parts responsible for protecting the front wheel, wheel well, and parts of the sills from water, mud, and road debris. A correctly selected and installed part contributes to:

• stable mounting of the wheel arch liner and inner shields,
• proper airflow along the side of the vehicle,
• maintaining factory gaps between adjacent body panels.

As a part from the Front Fenders group, the product is prepared for installation in place of the original component, utilizing the factory mounting points. This simplifies the work of the body technician while preserving the structural rigidity of the front body section.

Used Condition and Service Application

The part is offered in Used condition, making it an attractive solution for economical repairs where reasonable cost is a priority while maintaining original manufacturer specifications. This type of fender is suitable for both accident repairs and bodywork restoration projects for the Mini R50.

As a part sourced from disassembly, it retains its factory geometry and characteristic Mini creases, which is important for precise alignment of gaps and body lines after repair.

Compatibility, Reference Numbers, and Part Selection

The fender has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific Mini R50 version in service catalogs and parts selection systems. When selecting the part, it is advisable to use the vehicle manufacturer's numbering to ensure that the chosen fender matches the body specification used in the car.
