Technical Characteristics and Purpose

The presented seat belt is designed as a component installed on the front right side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory configuration of Mini models in the R55 and R56 series. Its construction meets the manufacturer's requirements regarding mounting geometry, belt length, and retractor mechanism operation, allowing for the user's body to be maintained in the correct position during driving.

The black color of the belt and trim elements allows for aesthetic integration with most Mini interior configurations, without interfering with the dashboard's styling. The use of an original solution from the Mini OE range promotes proper interaction with the factory mounting points and upholstery elements.

Seat Belt Construction and Function

The seat belt offered here belongs to the Seat Belts and Parts group, meaning it is an integral part of the vehicle's passive safety system. The retractor mechanism is designed to:

• maintain appropriate belt tension during normal driving, without excessive slack,
• lock belt extension during sudden acceleration or braking,
• ensure stable belt guidance along the pillar and seat, according to the manufacturer's specifications.

This solution supports maintaining predictable body positioning for the user in emergency situations, which is crucial for the effective operation of other vehicle safety components.

Color Scheme and Integration with Mini Interior

The black color allows for seamless integration with the factory upholstery and interior panels used in the Mini R55 and R56. The neutral color:

• does not visually stand out from the pillars and seats,
• facilitates maintaining a cohesive cabin appearance after replacing the part,
• promotes discreet installation, without the need for modifications to other interior parts.

As a result, replacing the belt does not negatively impact the visual perception of the cockpit, and the vehicle retains its characteristic, factory-original Mini style.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The offered seat belt is a used part, making it an attractive service solution for Mini owners looking for parts at a reasonable price while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of component is particularly suitable in situations where:

• mechanical damage to the existing belt has occurred (cut, frayed, jammed retractor),
• replacement after a collision is necessary, in accordance with service recommendations,
• maintaining factory fitment to the Mini body structure is important.

Using an original seat belt from the same model group minimizes the risk of installation problems and facilitates compliance with the manufacturer's design intentions.

Part Selection and Additional Materials

When selecting safety components and other parts, it is advisable to consider not only the price but also the technical compatibility and actual condition of the component.
