Purpose and function of the component

The towing eye bumper flap for the E91 LCI version is dedicated to installation in the rear body area, at the towing eye socket. Its purpose is to aesthetically close the opening in the bumper when the tow hook is not in use, and to protect the inside of the bumper from dirt and moisture. Thanks to its factory shape and correct profile, the component ensures proper fitment with the bumper line, without the need for additional modifications.

Color and paint matching

The finish in Bluewater Metallic - 896 allows for maintaining a uniform color scheme of the rear bodywork. For users who have a bumper in the same paint code, the flap is a convenient solution when replacing a damaged part, minimizing the need for additional painting. In the case of body restoration or detailing, color consistency makes it easier to achieve a uniform visual effect.

Installation characteristics

The component is prepared for installation in the factory mounting point in the rear bumper, maintaining the original geometry. The design of the flap allows for removal if it is necessary to use the tow hook, and subsequent reinstallation without losing stability. Thanks to this, the user retains the full functionality of the tow hook while maintaining an aesthetic look of the bumper on a daily basis.

Condition and use in repairs

The offered component is in used condition, which makes it a practical choice for post-accident repairs, replacing a missing flap, or restoring the completeness of the rear bumper. Using an original part from the same body group allows for maintaining proper fitment and compliance with the model's stylistic line, which is important both for daily use and when reselling the vehicle.
