Help with missing front end part?
What is this open space/ hole in the front of my car for and how do I get a replacement? I think the cover fell off going through the car wash. What is the piece called? Thx

That's for towing the car and I don't know what is called, but you can explain to dealer what ii is. it happened to me one time after car wash. I returned my car to dealer and they put it back!

Thx for your help. I don't have the cover. I am assuming it is at the car wash still? Will the dealer replace it for free under warranty?

I don't think that warranty covers it, but don't worry. It's cheap!
In my case since I had left my car in dealer's service department, they found the part in carwash.

Unfortunately it has to be painted to your car color, otherwise it is a plastic cheap piece. Cover, tow fitting front part # 51 11 8 055 288. Last edited by Palomequet; 09-07-2014 at 07:50 PM.. Reason: Gt |

You say 'cheap' .. the part is cheap, in the UK around £15, but then the dealer (at least for my friend in his 3 series) wanted £55 to paint it! (and of course compared to the car cost it IS cheap, for a bit of plastic..)
Defo worth checking back at the car wash though |

Just go to the dealer and ask for a replacement tow hook cover. As others have said. It's cheap, the only relatively costly part would be painting it.
