stevc999 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, Irecently bought a 2nd hard Fiesta Zetec and I noticed this morning that a part on the fron bumper has fallen off - or been nicked (although why that would happen I don't know). It's a bit to the left of the front number plate as you look at it I have attached a photo - can anyone tell me what this part is, where to get it and maybe what it does? Would really appreciate it Thanks, Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looks like the toweye cover to me, is the thing visible behind the missing bit threaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevc999 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yes it is - sounds like a good call - thanks How is it fited to the car does the part slot in to the threaded but behind it or does it just slot in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The plastic bit just clips into the bumper, the thread behind is only used for scewing the toweye into when the car needs towing. Probably your best bet for replacing it is eBay, having a quick look myself it seems a lot of them are only primed so would need painting, but there will no doubt be painted ones out there! Did you buy it privately or from a dealer? If the latter then they should replace the missing bit for you. It may also be worth checking with the parts department of a dealer, sometimes their prices are surprising and you may be able to get a new painted one cheap.

Why can't Ford's fit those things as standard? Or is something else the US market gets that we don't?? :P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
