Purpose and fitment for Mini Cooper S R55/R56

The presented panel is a complete front bumper trim dedicated to the Mini Cooper S R55/R56 generation. The structure is designed for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the proper geometry of the front bodywork. As a result, after replacement, the bumper maintains the body line, and the gaps between elements remain consistent with factory specifications.

Its placement in the front zone of the body makes this element both aesthetic and functional – it is responsible for the proper airflow around the front of the vehicle and the protection of other bumper components.

British Racing Green Metallic color – 895 / A67

The element is finished in the characteristic British Racing Green Metallic paint, marked with code 895 / A67. It is a classic, deep shade of green associated with the Mini line, which emphasizes the sporty character of the Cooper S version. For owners of cars in this color, this means the possibility of replacing the panel without the need for immediate repainting of the entire bumper, which in many cases shortens repair time and reduces costs.

The metallic structure of the paint ensures visual consistency with other body elements, and the properly selected shade allows for maintaining a uniform appearance of the vehicle's front after repair.

Characteristics of the used OEM element

The panel comes from the original Mini production line, which means it retains factory dimensions, shape, and material quality. As a used part, it is a good choice for drivers who are looking for a compromise between quality and repair cost, while maintaining the original vehicle specification.

Compared to aftermarket replacements, the original bumper panel ensures better fitment with other body elements, which is important for both aesthetics and the correct installation of equipment located in the front of the car.

Use in body repairs and upgrades

The complete front bumper panel in British Racing Green Metallic will work well in several typical service scenarios:

• repairing the front of the vehicle after a minor collision or scrape,
• replacing a damaged or deformed bumper panel,
• restoring the original look of the car after previous non-factory modifications,
• aesthetic upgrade of the Mini Cooper S R55/R56 front while maintaining its factory character.

Thanks to the factory fit, the element works well with other bumper components, which facilitates workshop work and limits the need for additional modifications.
