Tow cover stolen whilst parked

Hi,

Very annoyingly someone stole what I think is the tow cover from my front bumper - see pic.

I assume there was nothing behind this, and it’s only a cosmetic item that I could just push on if I managed to get a replacement item, but I’m not sure.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get a replacement item? My car is ceramic white on a 2016 plate.

I will get a quote from the dealers tomorrow but I think they come grey and have to be painted, so the pounds go up.

Thank you, Richard.

[hmm cant work out how to post an image at the moment but its a square shaped hole on the passenger side of the front bumper inset from the headlamp].

 

Stolen or fallen off? Why would anyone steal this?

£1.44 plus a £10 rattle can.

Thank you. I have no idea why, but there’s a screwdriver mark on the edge of the hole so it definitely had some help getting free. Thanks again for the link, currently out of stock but at least I know now it should be an affordable bit.

Some people will steal anything

Agreed, some people will steal anything they can.  I’ve removed mine a few times (I have a go-pro tow eye mount) and I can’t see it coming off on its own. 

Or the garage that last serviced it weren’t very good.

Must have been an ND owner looking for a replacement part for free. Some owners are lowlife scum.
