Hi Ray, nope this has all gone pretty quiet
I have a lovely shiny towing eye cover sat in my garage, sprayed a version of EWT white (the car already has all three shades on it so what the hell!).
I fear there is more cost than demand.
I am happy to consider all options. I understand that getting parts 3D scanned is not cheap unless you know otherwise. I have approached a nice man about making a mould be he quoted (without seeing the part) about ยฃ250 plus the manufacture. This makes unit costs rather high unless I stump up a load of dosh up front and be the worlds leading (sole?) supplier of S1 towing eye covers!!!!!
Any suggestions welcome.
Rob

There was a mention of 3D printing limitations due to shape etc, did anybody see the edition of Wheeler Dealers were they made a new headlight for the veteran car? That was made using a 3D printer?
One suggestion I have is you sell me the spare towing eye cover
