Purpose and fitment

The presented hood is designed to work in the front body zone, where it is responsible for covering the engine compartment and properly guiding airflow over the front of the vehicle. The design, consistent with BMW's factory specifications, ensures proper fitment with the fenders, radiator grille, and bumper, which facilitates gap alignment and maintains the original body line. The original BMW origin ensures the maintenance of proper rigidity, mounting points, and compatibility with factory hinges and the hood lock. Thanks to this, the component works well both for standard replacement after damage and for reconstructing the front of the vehicle after a collision.

Color Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71

The hood is finished in Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71 paint, a characteristic green metallic shade used in selected BMW 1 Series configurations. For users owning a car in this color, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of painting to potential touch-ups, which shortens repair time and can reduce its cost. The metallic finish ensures consistency with the factory visual effect – the appropriate color depth and characteristic light reflection. With proper installation and alignment of other front-end components, the hood allows for maintaining aesthetics consistent with the original BMW design.

Characteristics of the used component

The hood is a used component, which in practice means it may show signs of wear typical of parts dismantled from a vehicle. This type of component is often chosen for repairs where the priority is to maintain the original construction and a reasonable budget, while maintaining proper functionality and front-end geometry. Compared to non-factory replacements, a used hood from BMW retains the proper pressings, shape, and mounting points, which facilitates bodywork and position adjustment relative to other body panels. This is a practical solution for workshops and individual users performing repairs in accordance with factory specifications.

Benefits of using an original BMW hood

• Structural consistency with the BMW E81/E87 body, facilitating installation and adjustment.
• Factory shape and pressings ensuring the maintenance of the vehicle's front styling line.
• Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71 color, which allows for limiting the scope of paint work in cars of the same shade.
• Appropriate rigidity and fitment to original hinge and lock mounting points.
• A reasonable choice for post-accident repairs, where the ratio of cost to quality and compliance with the manufacturer's design matters.
