Replacement Front Towing Eye Cover

[jwbalm4d]

I noticed recently that my front towing eye on my MG 4 EV (Camden Grey) has fallen off (I suspect when going over a pot hole recently, as I heard an odd noise).

Does anyone know of any option to get a replacement? Not had much luck beyond finding a replacement black one online...not much help for the Camden Grey!

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Normally in situations like this, the replacement part will come finished in one single body colour ( maybe black ) or even in a basic primer finish.
Then the part will be finished in the correct body colour.
I know the external door handles are like this on the ZS EV.
Supplied in a single colour, then needs refinishing.
Otherwise MG would have to carry a part in every body colour of the model, which is unlikely TBH.
Unless you can find a car that is being broken for spares in the same colour of course.

That's helpful, thank you.

Any idea where to source one from - and then the paint?

I presume you mean towing eye cover? (The towing eye itself is in the boot under the floor).

I've not look at mine - don't they have a "cord/strap" to hold them on the car when the towing eye is being used? (That's what I've seen on other cars).

Go to your dealer to check the price at least.

Yes, sorry. It's the cover I need

Update: dealer can source one, which is great and pretty reasonable (£15). However, it's not painted (primed only), so need to get that sorted.

Dealer also believes someone must have stolen it, as they are attached by a cord, apparently!

Thanks all.

Check with the dealer on a cover, these people should be able to supply you with a spray can, mixed to suit your body colour.

Thanks, however I don't think they stock my paint colour (Camden Grey). Any ideas where else to look?

They mix the paint and then load it into a spray can.
Have you enquired about the colour ?.

if you pop into to your local paint shop (at an unbusy time), they will colour match it for you, around £15 / 400ml can of spary.
