Technical and functional characteristics

The fender trim serves both protective and aesthetic functions, shielding the edge of the fender from minor mechanical damage and external factors. The component's construction is adapted to the factory mounting points in the Mini body, which promotes stable installation and reduces the risk of looseness during operation.

As an original Mini component, the trim maintains compliance with the dimensions and tolerances specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This facilitates installation both in professional body shops and in independent workshops that carry out repairs in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

• removing the effects of parking scrapes on the left rear fender,

Using an original fender trim helps maintain a consistent vehicle appearance and facilitates subsequent paint work, as the geometry of the part corresponds to factory design specifications.
