These accessories shown in the video are very particular: they are called side scuttles, they are in fact the "side ports" of the car itself. They can be replaced with original BMW panels or aftermarket ones, which usually reproduce the Union Jack, or the black/white checkered flag.

To remove the original ones we must release the clips from their housing using a plastic spatula, so as not to damage the bodywork. We remove the electrical connector and then get the side scuttles to replace them.

In BMW they cost just under 300 euros, while for aftermarket ones, we recommend the website minimania.com where by selecting the required spare part for the Mini Countryman, you will find various types available starting from 148 dollars + shipping costs.
