Mercedes-Benz R129 SL-Class — Pre-Facelift Front Tow Hook Cover
A direct OEM-fit replacement for the front bumper tow hook eye cover on the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL-Class, pre-facelift production (1990–1995).
This trim piece is famously easy to lose once it pops out, and original parts have become expensive or hard to source. This design restores the clean factory front bumper look in minutes.
OEM part number replaced: A1298800005 / 1298800005
