If you're shopping around and notice this part for less, please note this is a Genuine MINI part NOT a aftermarket manufacturer part. Genuine MINI parts are often manufactured to higher standards with materials approved by MINI.

Install notes: 1. Drop the boot down. 2. Remove the 2 plastic snaps from the full plastic covering on the interior of the boot door 3. Loosen the 2 torx bolts on the inside. You may need to use a rachet. 4. Before you completely remove the cover secure the boot so it does not get damaged. 5. Remove the old exterior hinge cover, which may require a little prying 6. Lift the boot upright but don't close it. Insert the new cover into the hinge and it should snap in place. 7. Drop the boot horizontal and reinsert the bolts and tighten.

Customers' comments

Fit and finish were perfect. Mounted right up, and looks great.

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.

Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.

The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.

The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.

This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

Love your business and your attempt to service MINI owners. One suggestion for you. When you feature a produce on the front of your emails each time, you should explain just exactly what the part is, what it does, and why a MINI owner would want to replace something on their car with it. All of us are not mechanics and might not recognize a picture of a part. As you do the site now, you always put these things in there and the copy is written as though everyone knows exactly what the part is for.

Another idea, what are the types of things that many MINI owners can do with their cars in terms of customization. Your site is so vast and the number of ideas so large, it's hard for the average person to get their arms around what you offer and why we should buy. You write as though we already know what we want when we come to your site. In actuality, many MINI owners who are not car-savvy don't even know what they might be looking for.

I hope this is helpful.

Best.
