Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented hinge is designed for installation at the rear of the MINI body, on both the left and right sides. The construction, tailored to the tailgate of R50/R53 models, allows for maintaining the correct axis of rotation, which translates into even closing and prevents stress on the body panels. Placement in the rear zone requires a component with appropriate rigidity, which is why the hinge geometry has been developed specifically for the standard MINI tailgate.

Color and visual fit

The hinge is finished in Hyper Blue Metallic - A28, a color characteristic of select MINI vehicles. For vehicles in the same shade, this means the possibility of aesthetic installation without the need for full repainting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. Even for cars in a different color, the factory surface finish provides a good base for paint preparation.
