Detachable tow bar cover

I am sure I read on here somewhere that there is a cover for the detachable tow bar housing, ie the part that remains on the vehicle. Assuming there is such a thing, please would some-one tell me what it is called and where I might buy one. Thanks.

It's a 'blanking plug'. Do a search and you'll find plenty around Thumbs Up

If its the red plug that fits in the chassis recess when the tow bar is removed I think I have a spare knocking around - small donation to the site and its yours - assuming I can find it

If you mean the part which covers the recovery eye and electric socket(s), don't get stung on eBay for a used one.

Part number DPO500011PCL - full price is £22 before any discounts which you will get from the site sponsors Smile 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

If its the plug that goes in the receiver (where the detachable Tow bar fits) it is KNG500013, about £6.50 on the web.

Why does anyone need it? Surely it serves no useful purpose ?
