Default Faking it: Jack hole covers

I have fake jack hole covers on my car. Not sure if anyone else is going down this route or considering it but if you are this was what I found as solution.

Whilst there are knobs you can find on cookers that look similar to real thing they are way too big - the originals are actually quite small.

You can buy original repros but they'll cost 270 euros:




What I went with is approx same diameter as genuine and similar looking and it is......... a Stainless Drain Bung (yes really!)





Very reasonable at £8.71 each including VAT so £35 for a set.

The flange is bonded to the other side of the sill.

You could easily file the raised turn grip down to get closer to the oem if you wanted
