Technical characteristics and intended use

The presented tailgate is designed for installation in the rear body section of the Mini Cabrio version, ensuring proper closing of the luggage compartment and providing a stable base for the lock mechanism and hinges. The construction meets the manufacturer's standards, which translates into correct alignment with the fenders, bumper, and rear lighting.

The Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color is a factory shade used in Mini models, which allows the element to fit well into the body's stylistic line and makes it easier to maintain a uniform vehicle color scheme after bodywork repairs.

Function in the body and benefits of installation

The tailgate in a Mini Cabrio plays an important role in both construction and utility. It is responsible for:

• rigid closure of the rear body section and protection of the luggage compartment,
• proper guidance of the body lines and maintaining the geometry of the rear panel,
• correct seating of additional elements, such as the lock, hinges, or license plate lighting.

Using an original tailgate from the same model group allows for reduced fitting work, which is especially important for post-accident repairs and precise adjustment of gaps between body panels.

Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color scheme

The Dark Silver Metallic - 871 shade is a dark silver metallic, characteristic of many Mini configurations, providing a subdued yet dynamic look to the rear of the car. In practice, this means:

• easier matching to the vehicle's existing paint,
• limiting the scope of painting to potential local touch-ups,
• a visually consistent final effect after the repair is completed.

For users who care about the aesthetics of the body, this is a beneficial solution that allows maintaining the characteristic Mini style without visual compromises.

Condition of the element and service application

The tailgate is offered as a used body element, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original build quality. This type of component is suitable for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• replacing a damaged or corroded tailgate,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and mounting points, the installation process is predictable for a body and paint workshop.

OEM part selection and additional information

The element belongs to the Trunk lids and rear doors group, which facilitates its identification in service catalogs and the selection of other mounting components. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which allows for precise matching to a specific Mini Cabrio configuration.
