Product Description
Mini Cooper 2018-2024 Porthole Accent Surround Trim, 2-Piece Stainless (PH72880)
PH72880 is a pair of polished stainless porthole accent surround pieces for the 2018-2024 Mini Cooper 2-door. Before you order, note a small mismatch in the listing. The title reads "2-door, Convertible," but the fitment row tags the 2-door Convertible and the Hardtop. The two don't agree, and we've flagged it rather than pick one. If you own a Hardtop, check the photos against your car and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PH72880. The catalog also spells the model "Mini Copper" in the row, a typo we've logged; it means the Cooper.
What you're buying
Two pieces, named Porthole Accent Surround Trim in the catalog. Each is cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. There's no size or additional note in the record, so look closely at the product photos for the exact shape and placement.
Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No drilling is involved.
Prep and placement
Clean the spot with soapy water, dry it, and wipe with rubbing alcohol. If a sealant or coating has been applied, take it off where the tape will touch. Hold each surround piece in place with its liner still on and look at it head-on; the margin should look even all the way around. Mark the spot with painter's tape, peel, place and press firmly around the whole piece. Do the second one the same way and compare them from a few steps back. Choose a dry day within the Installation tab's temperature range.
Other Mini parts on this sheet, and their body tags
The body tags on this sheet aren't uniform, which is worth knowing if you're building a set. Tagged for the 2-door Convertible and Hardtop: AT72880, a 6-piece body side molding accent set at 1.25 inches noted "Arrow - 1.25" wide"; TH72880, a 6-piece lower rocker kit at 1.25-1.5 inches that spans from the bottom of the door up to the specified width; and DH72880, a 4-piece door handle surround trim kit, tagged for those same two bodies. Tagged for the 2-door Convertible only: RD72880, a 1-piece rear deck accent for the back; GC72880, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; and LB72880, a 2-piece above-plate license bar accent noted "Around logo." If you have a Hardtop, check those three with us before ordering.
A quick fitment checklist
- Mini Cooper, model year 2018 through 2024
- Two doors
- Convertible or Hardtop (title names Convertible only)
- Porthole area matches the product photos
Small parts, careful eye
Surround trim this size is quick to fit, but small pieces show any tilt. Before you press, look at each piece from straight on, then from the side, then from a few steps back. If it looks right from all three, press it home. If not, adjust while the tape has only touched lightly.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep polished stainless bright. Skip abrasive pads and steel wool.

Installation tips: Porthole Accent Surround Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- 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.
