Purpose and Fitment for Mini Cooper R52 Cabrio

The presented right trunk lid hinge is specifically designed for the Cabrio version of the Mini Cooper R52 model, taking into account the characteristic rear body structure. This component is responsible for the stable guidance and support of the trunk lid on the right side, which is important for both user safety and proper lid closure.

Thanks to its factory mounting geometry, the hinge works with the original body mounting points, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications. This is particularly important for accident repairs where maintaining correct panel gaps and body lines is crucial.

British Racing Green Metallic Color – 895 / A67

The part is finished in the distinctive Mini shade of British Racing Green Metallic, identified by paint code 895 / A67. This makes it an attractive base for body repairs in the same color, limiting the scope of painting to potential touch-ups rather than a full repaint of the part.

The metallic paint finish accentuates the body lines of the Mini Cooper R52 Cabrio and helps maintain a consistent, factory-original look for the rear of the vehicle. This is a beneficial solution for owners who prioritize aesthetic matching of the part to the existing paintwork.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The right trunk lid hinge is a moving structural component, so its proper functioning affects everyday driving comfort. It is responsible for:

• maintaining the correct pivot axis of the trunk lid on the right side,
• stable guidance of the lid during opening and closing,
• ensuring proper alignment with the left-side hinge.

As part of the Doors and Door Sheet Metal group, it works in conjunction with other elements of the rear body panels, such as the trunk lid, seals, and mounting hardware. Correct installation requires maintaining alignment and checking working clearances to avoid excessive stress on the hinge and improper lid closure.

Used Condition and Benefits of Choosing OE Parts

The offered hinge is a used part, sourced from disassembly, which allows for an attractive repair cost while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. For body parts like trunk lid hinges, choosing OE parts means preserving the correct geometry, compatibility with factory mounting points, and predictable performance in use.
