Front towing eye trim
Hi,
I've had the front bit of trim (that covers the towing eye) stolen by a pheasant...
Hoping to get an RLD plate some time in the future, but for now, just a quick question...
Is it just a cover for the towing eye (aesthetic) or does it also perform a function - protecting radiator from stones etc?
(Just wondering whether it's OK to hoon about it in the mean time).
Thanks,

Just a cosmetic. if it needed to be robust enough to protect anything, then your pheasant wouldn't have stolen it when he ran into you Bodsys Brake Bible

Never mind the Yorkshire Budgie, it's Yorkshire pheasants nicking bits off Land Rovers now!
There must be 100s of these lying around from folk fitting bash plates. And when you see the bashes and scrapes in the plates I would not want to go about without one!A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
