Purpose and fitment

The hood has been designed specifically for BMW 1 Series E81 and E87 models, ensuring proper fitment to the geometry of the front bodywork. Its placement in the Front zone means the component works with factory hinges, the latch, and other front-end components such as fenders or the bumper.

Thanks to the use of the original OEM design, compatibility with factory mounting points is maintained, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Color and paint properties

The engine hood is in Alpinweiss 3 - 300 color, characteristic of many BMW 1 Series units. For users who own a car in the same shade, this provides a convenient base for matching the vehicle's appearance without the need for a full repaint of the entire component.

In the case of restoration or paint correction, the clearly defined color code facilitates the painter's work, allowing for precise color matching and minimizing tonal differences between the hood and other body panels.

Characteristics of the used component

The hood comes from the secondary market, which is a beneficial solution for economical repairs while maintaining the vehicle's original specifications. A used body component often allows for cost savings compared to new parts, while maintaining proper geometry and installation compatibility.

Choosing an original, used engine hood is particularly important where maintaining factory gaps, character lines, and proper hood closure relative to the latch and fenders is a priority.

Application in body repairs

The engine hood in Alpinweiss 3 - 300 is particularly suitable for:

• front-end collision repairs,
• body restorations where the old hood has signs of corrosion,
• restoring the car's original appearance after unprofessional modifications,
• restoration projects where preserving the factory character of the BMW is important.

Thanks to the preservation of the original design, the hood works with factory passive safety elements, such as the crumple zones in the front part of the body.
