Tow Eye Cap

timothy2001 · 11-18-2019, 10:00 AM

Just noticed mine is missing. $23 from Getbmwparts.com which is fine but it's primer and needs to be painted.

Does anyone know of a source that sells them painted? Jerez black ideally?

Nevermind......... LMGTFU.com FTW. A simple search does wonders.

I bought one of amazon and the paint was darker and does not match my car so I would avoid that option.

I would see if your local dealer could paint one for you if looking for a perfect match.

This piece was essentially perfect. Color matched, fit was exact, very happy.

What was the site? I need one too... I was going to get one from eBay, but would rather find a reputable source if not too expensive...

Not inexpensive but worth it.

There is another site that many on here endorse called FCP Euro, evidently they have an awesome return policy but I have never purchased from them.

I noticed you are a bit new to this site, if you don't post pictures of your car you don't exist.

Yep. Just order it from IND. their paint matches have been flawlessly perfect on my car.

FCP's afaik is not painted factory primer'd cover

Edit: I still recommend FCP for most all parts though, if you're going to replace them again at some point at least.

Haha! I would love to, but I can’t work out how to do it from my phone! You can see my harrop enhanced engine in the profile pic

Bought a cheap one with the primer and got a paint kit, figured I can use it touch up other stuff but came out darker, put probably to may paint layers on it.
