Lamp Cover

Post by David Hall » Fri Jun 02, 2017 3:44 pm

Hi- I seem to have lost one of the lamp covers under the bonnet - the round black cover that you twist off the give access to change the headlamp bulb - obviously didn't twist it back on properly!!  anyone know the part number and/or where I can get a replacement?
Thanks

It must have fallen inwards and downwards so it may be worth taking the plastic undertray off and having a look, you never know your luck.

+1 on that, I had rested my keys on the panel under the bonnet and accidentally nudged them off. I could see them but not get to them, I had to pull the wheel arch liner back toget at them.
