Intended Use and Function of the Part

The described rear trunk lid trim strip is dedicated to Mini R56 series cars and is mounted on the rear body section. It serves a protective and decorative function, masking the edge of the lid and harmoniously connecting the line of the lights and body panels. Its precise profile ensures proper adhesion to the lid, facilitating installation and reducing the risk of paint stress.

Laser Blue Metallic A59 Color

The factory Laser Blue Metallic A59 color is a distinctive metallic blue shade used by Mini, characterized by its distinct depth and attractive light effect. Using the original paint on the trim strip maintains consistency with other body panels, eliminating the need for additional painting when matching a vehicle with the same color code. This is particularly beneficial when replacing a single part where maintaining a uniform color and coating structure is important.

Mounting Characteristics

The trim strip is designed for installation on the rear of the vehicle, on the trunk lid, in the factory location. The part's construction is adapted to the geometry of the Mini R56 lid, making it easy to seat and properly align with adjacent body components. By retaining the original form, it's possible to utilize the factory mounting points, which reduces work time and the need for additional modifications.

For correct part selection, it is recommended to compare the shape, mounting locations, and paint code with the part installed on the vehicle.
