Hey everyone, I'm not up to speed on all the nuances between the various mini model numbers except for the obvious differences (e.g., 2dr, 4dr, convertible, etc), but I noticed when shopping for modifications it seems some sites don't carry SE related parts nor can you filter based on the SE. So if I were to purchase after-market parts would I look for something that fits an R55 or F56? Specifically, I'm looking to purchase some black vinyl tape to blackout my chrome beltline. Thanks!
F56 is very generally the two-door hardtop, the SE is a variant within that family, along with the regular Cooper hardtop, the S, and the JCW. Some parts are fully interchangeable among all variants, others not. Somewhere else on this forum there’s a link to an Etsy store that sells beltline vinyl specifically for the F56.
Thanks for the reply... Yeah I found the beltline vinyl here: https://www.cravenspeed.com/beltine-blackout-kit-for-mini-cooper-f56-2014-2020/ but just wanted to be sure it's what I should order for my '23 SE.
The Rxx models are the previous generation (generally pre-2014), you definitely do not want parts for those models.
