Application and compatibility with Mini models

The presented ashtray has been designed specifically for the interior of the Mini Cooper One R50, R52, and R53 generations. Thanks to its factory design, it ensures:

• precise fitment to the center console in the front part of the vehicle,
• stylistic consistency with other cockpit elements,
• preservation of the original interior character without the need for modifications.

This solution is particularly useful when replacing a damaged component or restoring the completeness of the interior equipment in cars after repairs or modifications.

Construction, color scheme, and ergonomics

The ashtray is placed in the front zone of the cabin, within reach of the driver and passenger, which facilitates daily use. The silver color of the housing harmonizes well with typical Mini interior finishes, creating a cohesive, visually organized center panel.

The design provides convenient access to the interior of the ashtray and easy removal of the insert for emptying and cleaning. As a result, the element remains functional in the long term, and keeping the cabin tidy is simpler.

Characteristics of the used part

As a second-hand part, the ashtray comes from the dismantling of original Mini equipment. This means maintaining the factory geometry of the mounts and compatibility with the dashboard, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues. This type of element is a good choice for an economical interior repair when you want an original look without the need to invest in a new component.

Benefits of using an original ashtray

Using an original ashtray in the Mini Cooper One R50/R52/R53 allows you to:

• maintain a consistent cockpit design in line with the manufacturer's project,
• preserve the functionality of the factory storage compartment/ashtray in the front part of the interior,
• minimize installation time thanks to factory mounting points,
• avoid problems typical of replacements with imprecise shapes.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cockpit area in your Mini and need other elements from the same group, such as storage compartments, console panels, or small equipment modules, check the available parts in the Other Mini category.

Technical support and additional information

When selecting interior elements, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of the vehicle generation and body version to avoid installation problems. In the case of used OEM parts, the "off-the-shelf" availability of the component is also important, which translates into shorter vehicle downtime in the workshop and more efficient repair execution.
