Tow Hook Cover
 

Hey guys - I usually post in the C-class section, but I picked up a '98 SL500 this weekend and have a question. I've tried several searches and can't find info on the part that I need. I'm missing the what I call "tow hook cover" on my front bumper. What exactly is that called? Is there an on-line source for these? LOL - right now the car looks like it's missing a tooth.

Thanks

Sleepwalker, Thanks for the post. Excuse my ignorance, but what is "Escutheon"?

RE: Tow Hook Cover
 

should be escutcheon.

a cover

in mb, they use this term on something that doesn't need any screw. a single piece material or something.

Dude try ebay I had to place one on my 300sdl sedan dealer wanted 85 dollars but i found one on ebay in the 30 dollar range but missed the auction. So i ended up getting it from a small shop that had a junk sdl for 10 bux. And yes most people do call them tow hook covers.

Well, got it fixed. It was driving me crazy driving that beautiful car with that huge hole in the front. Bit the bullet and ordered from the dealership. $129.00 later, she looks good!
