Technical specifications and fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mini Cooper S R56 generation, taking into account the dimensions, mounting points, and body lines specific to this model. As a component from the Bumpers and reinforcements category, it ensures proper load distribution at the rear of the vehicle and compatibility with factory brackets, supports, and mounting hardware.

The version signed by AC Schnitzer stands out for its sporty character and refined styling, while maintaining the quality standards typical of OEM Mini parts. This makes the bumper a suitable choice for both post-accident repairs and visual upgrades of the car.

Exterior appearance and color

The bumper comes in a white, painted finish, which allows for an aesthetic match to a Mini Cooper S R56 body in a similar tone. The painted surface facilitates the restoration process – in many cases, only a correction or repainting to a specific vehicle paint code is required, without the need to prepare raw plastic.

The bumper profile has been shaped to harmonize with the line of the tailgate, lights, and the lower part of the body. This solution helps maintain a consistent, dynamic look of the car, which is particularly important in the S version with its more sporty character.

Purpose and function in the vehicle

Positioned at the rear of the vehicle, the bumper plays several key roles:

• it protects structural and mounting elements in the rear of the car,
• it influences aerodynamics and the visual stability of the body,
• it enables the correct placement of additional components, such as trims or decorative elements, in accordance with the AC Schnitzer design.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry, installation proceeds in a predictable manner for an experienced body shop, without the need for structural modifications.

Why choose a used OEM Mini bumper

Choosing a used, original Mini bumper instead of a replacement part brings a number of practical benefits:

• factory fitment for the Mini Cooper S R56 body,
• preservation of the original styling line, including the characteristic AC Schnitzer accents,
• consistency with other body parts in terms of shape and mounting points.
