Mirror purpose and functions

This side mirror has been designed specifically for Mini R60 and R61 series models, taking into account the characteristic body geometry and visibility ergonomics. It is mounted on the front left door, which corresponds to the passenger side in right-hand drive vehicles (N/S).

The component is equipped with heated glass, which improves visibility in rain, snow, and at low temperatures by reducing fogging and icing. The auto dip function assists with maneuvering – when reversing, the mirror automatically changes its angle, making it easier to observe the curb and the rear wheel area.

Color and visual fit

The Crystal Silver Metallic – B12 paint is a factory metallic Mini shade that ensures consistency with the original body color palette. As a result, the mirror integrates harmoniously with the side line of the car without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same color code.

The precisely formed housing retains the characteristic, compact shape of Mini mirrors, which allows for maintaining the vehicle's original appearance after accident repairs or the replacement of a damaged component.

Technical specifications and installation

The mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category, meaning it is a full-fledged element of the vehicle's visibility system that affects driving safety. The design is intended for installation at factory mounting points, using the original holes in the door and the standard electrical wiring.

Key functional features:

• dedicated vehicle placement – front, left side,
• integrated mirror glass heating,
• auto dip function assisting with reverse gear maneuvering,
• factory color Crystal Silver Metallic – B12, matched to the Mini palette.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry and mounting points, the installation proceeds in an orderly manner and allows for the restoration of full mirror system functionality without interfering with the door structure.

Component condition and service application

The offered component is in used condition, which makes it a reasonable choice for accident repairs, correcting parking damage, or restoring vehicle functionality at controlled service costs. This type of mirror is suitable for both workshops specializing in the Mini brand and independent services that carry out body and electrical repairs.

Choosing an original aftermarket mirror allows for maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications, including the electrical installation responsible for heating and the auto dip function, which is important from the perspective of safety and driver comfort.
