JeST's '87 Project E30 (S50, MTechnic 1, TC Klines, ...)

Javier, those are called tow hook covers, I was referring to the corner covers. But thanks for the help.

Levent, thats a tech1, not a late model plastic bumper. Those arent tow hook covers, those are bumper bolt covers.

Javier, Levent is talking about the little metal piece that goes on the chrome bumper surface. It hides the assembly bolt, which you can see is there and is rusty.

Bumper bracket bolt covers are circled in green, bumper assembly bolt covers are blue ovals.

Funny enough, the missing black plastic bumper bracket bolt covers always fall out. I have found mine on the driveway many times. I bought a handful of spares to keep in the glove box to maintain appearances. ;)

yes good point, should know better since we originally installed that on the car. :(

correct me if Im wrong but its the same part as the tow hook covers?

I dont believe so. Different part # and shape.

edit-
Re-chroming those bumpers would really set that thing off too. Id hit em up before summer.

Is there a tow hook extender on the OEM hook?

learned something new today...

Yes indeed they are different.

From the front:
1st one for Euro Trim
2nd one for Plastic Bumpers
3rd one for M3 Bumpers.

the diff between 1 and 2 barely noticeable, actually tried on a piece to see the fitment difference.
