Thanks to the proper fit to the shape of the bumper, the component allows for maintaining the original geometry of the vehicle's front and facilitates keeping the body in good visual condition.

Color and paint matching

The flap is factory-finished in Alpinweiss 3 - 300 color, which allows for aesthetic matching to the BMW body painted in this shade of white. In the case of vehicles after repainting or visual modifications, the component can be additionally painted to precisely match the current shade of the bodywork.

The original edge profiling facilitates proper seating in the bumper, and the appropriate mounting geometry promotes stable retention of the component during operation.

• allow removal if the towing eye needs to be used,
• ensure quick re-closing of the opening after towing is completed,
• maintain compatibility with the factory BMW 7 Series E65/E66 bumper.

The component is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, bumper replacement, or replenishing missing body details when maintaining the visual consistency of the car's front is a priority.
