The implemented design works in conjunction with standard pretensioners and buckles (depending on the specific vehicle configuration), allowing for the preservation of the system's factory operating parameters.

Key functional features:

• Original Mini origin – adhering to the vehicle manufacturer's standards.
• Compatibility with the rear bench seat – specifically designed to fit the interior geometry of the Clubman R55.
• Secure mounting – prepared for installation at the factory anchor points on either the left or right side.

Item Condition and Service Application

The seat belt is offered as a used part, enabling an economical repair of the safety system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This is a practical solution for situations where belt replacement is necessary after a pretensioner activation, collision, or mechanical damage to the webbing or retractor mechanism.

Choosing an original, used part is particularly advantageous when you prioritize:

• preserving the original safety system design,
• reducing repair costs while using OEM parts,
• visual and functional consistency with other MINI interior elements.
