Ford Fiesta XR2 Towing Eye Cover

Work In Progress

A replacement for the unobtanium Towing Eye Covers that are often missing on Mk2 Ford Fiesta XR2's.

Based on lots of trial and error on my car, which unfortunately being imported from Portugal has suffered some deformation of the front skirt where the part assembles, due to the heat. It is rust free tho, so some positives there.

This means it may not fit all cars, despite how well it fits mine, would be good to check.

The clip pieces assemble into the holes on the main component, so you need two of those, this should help prevent it dropping away more than the original ford parts.
