    This is kind of hard to explain without a picture, so i will upload one tonight when i get in from work but for the mean time:

    I noticed this morning, on the front bumper aero grill, where you screw in the hook thing to get pulled when you break down lol, is there suppost to be a cap or soemthing over this? I can now see right into the hole where the screw thing goes.....im sure i never used to be able to see in that, is their suppost to be a cap or something

    Crap explination i know but i will post a pic later

    EDIT:
    I just looked at the pics i posted in the gallery and it looks like you possibly can see it...maybei have just never noticed before

    Yes it should have a colour coded cap over the female thread:eyes up: It serves 2 purposes....one it stops all the crap getting in and clogging up the thread and the second is it looks better than having a big hole in your bumper

    Aaaaah....just re-read your post and I'm now thinking that it may not have a cover if its actually in the grill part of the aero-grill
