Designed for precise integration with 2011-2014 BMW X3 F25 models, the 51117210474 Cover provides essential protection for the front bumper tow hook access point. This direct replacement component features injection-molded construction with OEM-specified dimensions of 85mm x 45mm and a textured surface finish that seamlessly matches the bumper's OEM texture pattern. The trapezoidal design with 15-degree angled edges creates a secure weather-resistant seal when installed, preventing water intrusion and debris accumulation in the tow hook cavity. Deep-set retention clips maintain constant tension against the bumper mounting points to prevent rattling or vibration at highway speeds. The matte black finish incorporates UV-resistant pigments to resist fading across seasons, while the reinforced polymer blend maintains flexibility in temperatures from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C). Precision-engineered snap clips ensure tool-free installation while maintaining the factory-fresh appearance of your BMW's front fascia.

Installation Notes

Clean mounting area thoroughly before installation to ensure proper adhesion. Apply pressure at clip locations rather than center of cover. Test retention by gently pulling outward at each corner - proper installation requires uniform resistance. Do not use adhesives or sealants as they may damage bumper surface. Remove cover periodically to clean debris from tow hook cavity. Replacement clips (P/N 51117210475) available separately if original hardware is damaged.
