ZRE152R - help with bumper spare parts

[chuki3]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting here.

Would like some assistance find the part in the attach image.

I have found out this afternoon someone had stolen this part off my front bumper.

It is the circular cap? found on the ZRE152R hatchback front bumper. Sorry I dont know the name of it. Someone can enlighten me what the correct term.

looking to suit black coloured bumper/car.

Would someone point me to the right direction in sourcing one.

Thanks in advanced.

Cheers,

Front tow hook cover!

Hey mate, welcome!

As others above have stated, it's a front tow hook cover. To source it, you can either go to any wreckers or go to Toyota Spare Parts of any Toyota Dealer. Getting it from Toyota might be a tad more expensive, but go to Toyota first to see what cost it is first; then you can decide whether you want it from Toyota or go searching from wreckers. :)

It may not have been stolen,they tend to pop out some times if not securely positioned even with the little safety tab they can dislodge , mines popped out twice

Thanks everyone.. i'll check it out with toyota and wreckers.

Thank for the advice.

@juvenile - I reverse parked the car and walk in the front of it, i tend to notice this as it stands out. upon returning it was missing.

Not the first time, i had the side indicators stolen too.

i may be just unlucky..

In Chinese we have a saying "People steal $$ from a beggar's bowl"

Yep fair enough, I notice everything too, yeah they have a little plastic tab to prevent them falling out and worked well on mine. I've seen a lot of rentals missing them as well, stolen for sure then... Indicators would have really pi55ed you off though..

Maybe your indicators fell off aswell? Lol your bonnet will be next

Maybe there is a illegal use for these? Or john (juvenile) is out on the prowl looking for replacements? ^_^ :D JJ.

As per what the guys said on top - tow hook cover.

Cost wise - $13.68 + GST from Toyota

Part number: 5212812902

It comes unpainted.

Don't know if it is still true, the last time I checked the insurance stats, Corolla have one the highest rate of the theft leading to slightly higher insurance premium.

there's an illegal use for pretty much everything I have one from a truck but it's about 3mm too small but for $13 I should just get a new one, silver paint, drill through the guts and ready for a tow hook, if I get one..
