ive got a genuine el tickford bodykit sitting in the shed ready to put on my xr, but its missing the towbar cover...
will only a tickford kit one fit?... i tried a normal one from a rear bumper but its too small i dont like my chances of finding one so what are my options? also whats the going rate to get a ticky kit painted and fitted? cheers |

I didn't think you could get a cover to full the hole in the kit.
The towbar cutout is molded part of the kit, and it actually cut out by the factory/dealer when a towbar is fitted. |

Assuming you can find a piece of plastic in exactly the right shape needed.

Yes, I know... It's ok, you dont need to educate me on what plastics can do.
 I'm a perfectionist, it would have to be done pretty well to make me happy... Hence the comment. Plus, have to remember, the rear skirt is not plastic, its solid rubber. |

Interesting.
My EL rear skirt was rubber. Had tickford wings imprinted in the underside like it should, and when you grabed it and squeezed, it was solid, but soft and squishy, with a harder outer layer. If you took it off and looked behind, it was all rubber. The sides and front skirts were all plastic though. |

yea the ef kit is rubber, but the el isnt
thats a lot of coin for a piece of plastic lol if it was definatley cheaper to get a bit of plastic welded in there i would be doing that. if not where can i get the part from? |
