Tow Hook Cover

[scott_b]

Does anyone know where to get a painted tow hook cover? I've lost mine and all the ones I've found online are just primered. I'm looking for TiAg.

Thanks.

They all come primed. Don't think anywhere sells them painted. Just order one and buy yourself a can of (car color) and clear somewhere like automotive touch up.

My car was delivered without them and my sales guy had to order them. They gave them to me painted about a week later. Might have had them painted at a body shop, though...

Had both front and rear stolen on the wife's 128i convertible; they are available from Tischer (getbmwparts dot com), but they do have to be painted, and the color match can usually only be done by a body shop, particularly the metallic colors. I bought an extra set (they're very inexpensive) and had them all painted at once (same price as having just one painted). No idea why anyone would steal this, unless it was some sort of gang initiation or some shitforbrained idiot thinking it was cool to collect them.

They can pop off pretty easy if not put in correctly too. Or someone lost theirs and took yours to skip the hassle.

I can sell you mine if you want.

I run a tow-hook plate and will probably never remove it...

I bought the bmw color coded spray paint and clear from the outlet below and the cover matched fine.

Both times that the covers were stolen, they had been there since the car was delivered new, so I doubt seriously if they just popped out on their own, especially sitting still in a parking lot. Some low-life obviously removed them for amusement (apparently this is what amuses people with an IQ smaller than their shoe size).
