Product Description
Mini Cooper Convertible 2022-2024 Rear Bumper Cap Trim, 2 Pieces in Polished Stainless (BC72880)
On a car as compact as a Mini Cooper Convertible, small details have a big effect. BC72880 is a pair of polished stainless bumper cap accents for the rear bumper of the 2022-2024 Mini Cooper 2-door Convertible. The catalog note is direct: on rear bumper. That makes this trim the view people get when they are following you with the top down.
Convertible only, 2022 to 2024
QAA lists this part for the 2-door Convertible version of the Mini, in model years 2022, 2023, and 2024. Hardtop owners and owners of other years are not covered by this listing. If you are not sure whether your car is a Convertible or a Hardtop for this purpose, the roof answers it: this kit is for the soft-top model.
What it adds
Rear bumpers are generally broad painted surfaces with little detail. A bumper cap trim accent is a thin piece of bright metal that sits on that surface and gives it some sparkle without changing the shape of the car. QAA supplies two pieces for the rear of the Convertible. The exact shape of each is not described in the catalog, so the product photos are the best reference for how they look on the car.
The steel
Both pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. This is not chrome-plated plastic; the brightness comes from the steel itself. Grade 304 is one of the most widely used stainless alloys, and 26 gauge describes the sheet thickness.
How installation works
QAA pre-applies 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to each piece. The trim installs directly over the existing surface of the rear bumper, so you will not drill holes or remove anything from the car. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. On a small bumper, precise placement counts, so dry-fit each piece and mark its position with a bit of painter's tape before peeling the liner. Then press firmly along the whole piece, then run a finger along each edge to make sure it is fully seated. The Installation tab gives step-by-step help.
Other trim for your Mini
The catalog does not list companion QAA parts with this SKU, so the Fitment tab shows only BC72880. For more polished stainless on your Convertible, call and we'll look at what QAA has for it, and we can talk through fitting these two rear pieces while you're on the line.
Why a rear accent on a convertible
With the top down, the rear of a convertible is more visible than usual, and a bright accent on the bumper helps the back of the car look as finished as the front. It is also a quick, low-cost upgrade compared with larger trim kits, since only two pieces need to be placed.

Installation tips: Bumper Cap Trim Accent
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
