Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can you get replacement toe eye covers in body color already painted? Managed to loose money at Donny the other week! Our is it just a case of getting a cover and having it painted?

POST 2Original post

I lost mine on a Peridot Green CR and they were only available in primer .... The lesson here is to completely remove the cover rather than leave it hanging on its retainer whilst on track ... if you do, sooner or later the retainer will break. I left mine in primer until I needed some other rash repainting ...

Cheers Chris yeah annoyingly I did have the thought "ooh I'll take it out" and got distracted by a bacon sandwich

POST 4Original post

Don't they clip into the 'eye' of the towing eye anymore? - I know its too late now but i've never left one "dangling"

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Possibly. Needless to say I haven't read the manual!

POST 8Original post

I'd probably try painting it with a few coats from a colour matched rattle can, then a few coats of clear lacquer from a rattle can first of all and see how it looks. If it doesn't work, then a local body shop should be able to paint it cheaply
