Intended Use and Fitment

The presented bonnet/hood hinge is dedicated to Mini vehicles from the R50, R52, and R53 series, responsible for the stable guidance and secure opening of the front bonnet/hood on the left side. Thanks to a design that adheres to the factory Mini standard, the part ensures correct bonnet/hood geometry, which reduces the risk of rubbing against fenders or the latch, and facilitates precise gap adjustment.

British Racing Green Metallic Color

A significant advantage of this hinge is its original finish in British Racing Green Metallic - 895 / A67. For Mini owners with this shade, it means the possibility of installation without immediate repainting, shortening repair time and reducing costs. Maintaining the factory paint on the hinge also helps preserve a consistent look of the engine bay and the bonnet/hood edges when opened.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The left-side bonnet/hood hinge has been designed as a structural component that works in conjunction with the bonnet/hood, fenders, and latch. It is responsible for:

• stable bonnet/hood guidance during opening and closing,
• maintaining the correct bonnet/hood position relative to the body,
• transferring loads resulting from bonnet/hood operation and the actuator (if present).

Thanks to its original manufacturer origin, the hinge retains appropriate rigidity and kinematics, which simplifies installation at the mounting points provided by the manufacturer. In practice, this translates to predictable bonnet/hood behavior and the ability to correctly adjust its position without additional modifications.

Condition and Application in Repairs

The part is a used component and is offered as a used Mini bonnet/hood hinge, making it a sensible choice for accident repairs, correcting the geometry of the front body section, or replacing a worn-out hinge. This type of component is particularly useful when:

• the original hinge has been bent as a result of a collision,
• problems with the bonnet/hood closing have appeared,
• only one side needs replacement, without affecting the entire bonnet/hood.
