The heating function supports maintaining image clarity in rain, snow, and low-temperature conditions, reducing fogging and icing of the surface.

Color and visual fit

The metallic coating gives the mirror a consistent, modern look and blends well with both lighter and darker body colors. Thanks to the use of the original housing, the proper contours, lines, and proportions characteristic of factory Mini components are preserved.
