Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed as a body component mounted in the front – right side zone, which guarantees proper alignment with the hood, bumper, and passenger door. The construction matches the factory wheel arch profile of the Mini, ensuring that the correct body geometry and adequate space for the wheel and suspension are maintained.

Color and body aesthetics

The component is finished in the original Chili Red - 851 color, characteristic of sporty Mini configurations. This allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged fender without the need for immediate repainting of the entire side of the vehicle, which in many cases limits the scope of body and paint work. Maintaining the factory shade promotes visual consistency of the car and facilitates matching with other body panels.

Technical and functional characteristics

The fender belongs to the Front fenders group, responsible for protecting the wheel arch, guiding airflow along the body, and shielding suspension components from road debris. Properly shaped mounting edges allow for correct connection with the factory mounting points on the Mini body, which translates into stable seating of the component and reduction of stress in the bodywork during operation.

Condition and service application

This is a used part, which is a beneficial solution for post-accident repairs, restorations, and economical body repairs of the Mini. Choosing an original fender from dismantling allows for maintaining the factory geometry and the characteristic look of the model, while simultaneously reducing costs compared to new aftermarket replacements.
