Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is designed for installation in the rear left section of the seat in Mini Cooper R55 and R56 models. Thanks to the factory-spec geometry, the correct mounting points are maintained, which facilitates installation and ensures proper compatibility with other rear seat components.

The backrest is an original part, which translates into a perfect fit with side panels, the seat base, and folding mechanisms. In practice, this means no modifications are required, and the factory ergonomics of the rear interior are preserved.

Material and finish

The upholstery is made of black leather, providing an aesthetic, understated look and good resistance to daily wear and tear. The leather surface makes it easy to keep the backrest clean – dirt can be removed using standard automotive leather care products.

The finish of the backrest is matched to the character of the Mini interior, ensuring that replacing a single element does not disrupt the overall style of the cabin. This is a beneficial solution for both post-accident repairs and gradual interior restoration.

Functionality in daily use

The rear seat backrest plays a key role in the comfort of second-row passengers and the ability to flexibly configure cargo space. A properly selected component:

• provides stable back support for passengers,
• enables the correct operation of the folding and splitting seat mechanisms,
• maintains the visual consistency of the rear cabin area.

Thanks to the use of leather, the backrest withstands frequent folding and unfolding well, which is important for intensive use of the cargo space in compact Mini models.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The seat backrest is a used item, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to purchasing a new part, while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. It is a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery elements, or building a higher-standard interior on a budget.
