VW Lupo GTI Tow Eye Covers with Retention Straps
One PAIR (LEFT + RIGHT) of 3D-printed replacement tow eye covers with integrated retention straps for the VW Lupo GTI (1999–2006).
Original Lupo GTI tow eye covers are becoming increasingly difficult to find, with Volkswagen no longer offering the original covers as replacement parts. This makes replacing missing or damaged covers increasingly difficult for Lupo GTI owners.
IPNG's replacement covers also feature an integrated retention strap, providing an improvement over the original design. The strap secures each cover to the vehicle's lower bumper fixing, helping prevent the covers from becoming lost when removed from the bumper.
This means you get a direct replacement for an increasingly hard-to-find original part, with the added benefit of a retention system designed to help prevent losing the replacement in the future.
Why Choose IPNG?
Hard-to-find original parts:
Volkswagen no longer offers the original Lupo GTI tow eye covers as replacement parts, making genuine replacements increasingly difficult to source.
Improved retention:
Unlike the original covers, IPNG's design incorporates a retention strap which attaches to the bumper's lower fixing. This keeps the covers attached to the vehicle when removed, helping prevent them from being lost.
Easy Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modification to the vehicle.
Simply:
- Secure the retention strap to the vehicle's lower bumper fixing using the appropriate vehicle hardware.
- Position the tow eye cover over the opening.
- Push the cover into place until it securely clicks into the bumper.
