Purpose and fitment

The presented side panel is dedicated to Mini R50/R53 series models and is mounted in the rear part of the cabin on the left side. The component's construction is prepared for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original interior geometry. As a result, the panel works well with other trim elements, such as seats, backrests, and seals, creating a cohesive side interior layout.

Visual characteristics and color scheme

The Tartan Red color is a recognizable, intense red used in Mini vehicles, which gives the interior a more expressive, dynamic character. The panel has been designed as an integral part of the side trim, ensuring a uniform surface with adjacent upholstery elements after installation. The red finish complements both dark and light interior configurations, highlighting the car's individual character.

Function in the interior structure

The side panel performs several important functions in the Mini Cooper cabin:

• covers the inner part of the bodywork in the rear zone of the vehicle,
• visually stabilizes the side line of the interior,
• creates an aesthetic transition between the seat, backrest, and wheel arch lining,
• helps reduce noise and improves the impression of an organized passenger space.

By maintaining the original geometry, this element allows for precise alignment with adjacent components, which is particularly important during post-accident repairs or interior restoration.

Condition and service application

This is a part from the Door upholstery category, sourced from dismantling, intended primarily for service, renovation, and interior reconstruction applications following mechanical damage. It is suitable both for point replacement of a single element and for broader refreshing works of the rear cabin in the Mini Cooper R50/R53.
