Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed as a front right body panel, ensuring it maintains the correct wheel arch geometry as well as the hood and bumper lines. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications. For owners of the Mini R50 and R53, this is a functional way to restore proper body geometry following a collision or corrosion.

Color and finish Astro Black Metallic A25

The fender comes factory-finished in the Astro Black Metallic A25 shade, a dark metallic paint characteristic of many Mini vehicles. This color allows for an aesthetic match to bodywork with the same paint code, and in the event of potential repainting, it serves as a good base for refinishing. The metallic paint structure helps maintain a consistent look with the remaining body panels.

Characteristics of the used component

As a secondary market item, the fender retains its original construction and proportions, which is essential for the precise alignment of gaps between the hood, doors, and bumper. A used component is a sensible choice for economic repairs where both technical correctness and cost control are important. Before installation, standard verification of the surface condition and preparation for painting in accordance with workshop procedures is recommended.

Application in body repairs

Replacing the front right fender is important not only for visual reasons but also for functional ones – this element helps form the wheel arch contour, protects the engine compartment from debris, and influences the correct mounting of covers and plastic components. Using an original Mini fender facilitates:

• maintaining the correct body line and assembly gaps,
• proper seating of the headlight and bumper,
• stable mounting of the wheel arch liner and any decorative trim.
