Sorry..couldn't find anything in the forum about this.
But what's the official name for this piece and is it easily swapped out?

It's called a side scuttle and I've no idea if it can be swapped.

There are replacement side scuttles available in chrome. Many here have also painted, Plastidipped, or vinyl-wrapped theirs. Search for "side scuttles" and you should find more info.

You could also buy the silver side scuttles from a non-"S" Countryman but then you would be taking the orange side markers.

They can be swapped out and painted. Mine is piano black or glossy black.

Big fan of vinyl. Cheap and simple to change if you don't like it.

Options are here if you want plug and play. Called "Side Carriers" on the Countryman/Paceman, other MINIs they call them "side scuttles"
