Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Door trim panel

In this tutorial, you will learn how to remove the front door panel of a Mini Cooper.

Remove the other screws present on the door, as shown in the video. At this point, detach the handle trim by prising with a sharp tool, and you can finally remove the door panel by prising from the sides in multiple points and with great care, to release the rear clips.
