Designed for and fitment to Mini Cooper One R50/R53

This rearview mirror housing panel was designed specifically for the Mini Cooper One R50 and R53 models. The design of the element is adapted to the geometry of the headliner and mirror mount, resulting in a stable, aesthetically pleasing finish to the central front of the interior after installation.

The vehicle is positioned in the rear of the cabin, directly adjacent to the interior mirror. This solution allows for proper cable routing and covers the auto-dimming mirror mount, resulting in a neat appearance and reduced potential vibration.

Construction, auto-dim function and usability

The panel acts as a structural cover for the auto-dim rearview mirror. This allows:

• ensures aesthetic concealment of the mirror's power and signal cables,
• stabilizes the mounting area, reducing unwanted play,
• supports the proper operation of the dimming system by protecting the connectors against accidental damage.

The original origin of the element translates into a precise fit with the headliner and mirror base, which is particularly important in the case of cars where both functionality and a coherent interior style are important.

Used condition and economic benefits

The part is offered in used condition, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and factory-quality workmanship. In practice, this means:

• original mounting geometry,
• maintaining compatibility with the auto-dim mirror used in the Mini Cooper One R50/R53,
• the possibility of economical repair or restoration of the interior after damage or missing finishing elements.
