    I lost my front tow hook cover...what to do?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The title says it all.

    Last week I noticed that my front tow hook cover had mysteriously gone missing. This is the small (about 2") round tow hook cover on the passenger's side of the front bumper.

    Any ideas on where I can get a painted replacement?

    I need Black.

    That is a very kind offer. I'm not too sure if they are the same but I will give it a shot. Look for my PM.

    Saw a B8 parked over the weekend with a fog grille missing.
    Didn't look like any accident happened to the bumper.
    Might have been borrowed the same way....

    Way to go comparing the tow hook cover to a 50 cent piece of plastic that you can even get for free in some places
