Default Tow Bar Slot Cover - AU2 Sedan

Hi All,

Anyone got a tow bar slot cover for an AU2 sedan laying around?

If it's in Congo Green, all the better.

Just removed the factory standard tow bar today and want to cover the gap.

Cheers,

GK

Jeez, you've got a good memory Mr H...

Got one from Ford.

I think it was $13 or something like that.

I simply got Autopro to mix some Barossa Red in a spray can and painted it.

All up around $30 (with lots of touch-up paint left over).

(George, you could ring around tow-bar installers. One of them may have a cover laying around.)

Thanks fellas.

I'll check at Ford on Monday, and if that doesn't work out, I might go the other option.

A third I guess, would be the local pick a part.

Cheers,

GK

Just priced one from Ford.........

The cost you ask? $43!

I'll be heading off to pick a part sometime to hunt around for one.
