• support the stable mounting of internal wheel arch components,
• maintain the correct geometry of the shield in the front-right section of the vehicle.

Thanks to its precise fit for its specific location on the vehicle, installation is predictable, and the alignment with Mini's factory body mounting points remains precise.

Construction and Fit for Mini R60/R61

This part has been specifically developed for the body construction of the Mini R60/R61, taking into account the fender shape, wheel arch geometry, and wiring routing in this area. The appropriately profiled surface of the insulation allows for:

• secure adhesion to the inner part of the fender,
• proper drainage of dirt and moisture from the wheel arch space,
• maintaining clearance for wheel and suspension component operation,
• preserving the factory level of acoustic insulation in the front of the vehicle.

As a part intended for the Front, Right, the insulation is compatible with the factory mounting system on the passenger side, facilitating service and potential bodywork in this area.
