The cover has been designed for specific mounting points on the Mini R52 Cabrio, which facilitates installation and minimizes the need for additional modifications. The construction is adapted to the geometry of the Cooper S version's sill, ensuring the component works well with factory wheel arches, doors, and the lower bumper line. The mounting solutions used allow for a stable fit of the trim and reduce unwanted play during operation.
