Purpose and fitment

The backrest has been designed specifically for the rear right section of the seat in Mini R56 series models after the facelift (LCI). Thanks to its factory origin, it retains the correct geometry, shape, and mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of a damaged or worn-out part. Such fitment allows for maintaining the visual and functional consistency of the rear seat without the need for modifications.

Material and Polar Beige color scheme

The half-leather upholstery combines a pleasant-to-the-touch surface with practical resistance to daily use. The beige Polar Beige shade gives the interior a brighter, more spacious character and blends well with factory Mini finishes. This type of finish helps to reduce the visibility of minor dirt and provides a comfortable backrest surface for rear-seat passengers.

Function in the rear seat

The right rear seat backrest is responsible for stable back support for the passenger and maintaining the proper line of the seat. A correctly selected element:

• maintains an ergonomic support angle,
• ensures a consistent look for the entire rear seat,
• allows for the proper operation of folding mechanisms (if present in the vehicle's configuration),
• reduces unwanted play and squeaking in the rear part of the interior.

Characteristics of the used part

The backrest comes from disassembly, which means it is a used part that retains its original construction and factory finish. This type of component is a good choice for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery, or restoring the interior to a condition close to factory-new, while reducing costs compared to new parts.

Expansion and interior modernization of the Mini

Replacing a single backrest with a half-leather one in Polar Beige can be the first step towards a broader modernization of the rear seat, e.g., by matching the remaining seat elements to the same specification. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the seating area in your Mini and need other parts from the same group, such as backrests, seat cushions, or complete benches, check the available parts in the Mini Seats and benches category.

Comfort and vehicle value

Using branded upholstery elements from disassembly affects not only passenger comfort but also the perceived value of the car upon resale. A consistent, well-maintained rear seat in a light color improves the perception of the entire interior.
