Selecting the correct color is particularly important for local body repairs, where visual surface continuity without noticeable shade differences is essential.

• correct fitment with the fog light is achieved,
• the time required for adjustment during installation is reduced.

As a part from the Bumpers and reinforcements group, the cover contributes to the set of elements responsible for the external protection and appearance of the vehicle's front end.
