Technical characteristics of the photochromatic mirror
This mirror is a rearview mirror and features photochromatic technology that automatically reduces glare from following vehicle lights. This improves driving comfort after dark and reduces driver eye fatigue.
The built-in radio module operating at a frequency of 868 MHz allows for interoperability with vehicle systems intended by the manufacturer, which translates into stable communication and predictable operation within the original Mini installation.
Union Jack design and fit to the Mini interior
The Union Jack finish gives the mirror a distinctive, recognizable character, consistent with the British DNA of the Mini brand. This solution is particularly attractive to users who want to emphasize their car's individual style while maintaining the full functionality of the OEM part.
This finish blends well with the factory panels and upholstery, creating a visually cohesive cockpit. The mirror is therefore not only a functional element but also an aesthetic accent that can refresh the vehicle's interior without altering its structure.
Original Mini brand and used condition
This product comes from the Mini brand, meaning it's factory-fitted to the intended models and compatible with the original mounting points. This makes installation similar to replacing the stock mirror, without the need for structural modifications.
The mirror is offered in used condition, representing a favorable compromise between cost and maintaining original manufacturer quality. A used item is often chosen for accident repairs, replacing a damaged mirror, or upgrading an interior from a basic to a more premium version.
Application, compatibility and installation advantages
The photochromic interior mirror is designed for Mini R-series vehicles, specifically the R55, R56, and R60 body styles, in the configurations specified by the manufacturer for this type of equipment. In practice, this means it can be used both as a replacement in the event of damage and as an upgrade to the simpler version of the mirror without the auto-dimming function.
The key benefits of using this mirror model are:
- Improved night driving comfort thanks to automatic window tinting.
- Factory fit to the installation and interior styling of your Mini.
- A modern look with a Union Jack motif, emphasizing the car's character.
- Savings resulting from choosing a used part instead of a new one.
