Tow hook cover
A quick warning if you have to use your tow hook, TAPE THE COVER TO IT!!
Blimey, just been stung £60, half the price of the bloomin track day. Couldn't find any except at main dealer, £15 for cover, £35 to paint +vat.  Turns out they have fixed pricing for different parts, mine came under "small" i.e. washer jet cover/tow hook cover etc. Trouble is now, also got the bug for another track evening.......

I managed to find a used one on eBay when I lost mine, guess I was lucky!

You need to remove them completely. It's able to be pulled off fully and then re-attached afterwards.

I lost mine in a car park after being washed. It either got pinched or the jet wash popped it out.

If it came off on the track, its sort of like losing a tooth in a fight. Leave it off for awhile so you can tell people "you should see the other guy."  |
