Your missing the section of plastic bumper that covers the towing eye, its fixed in place with a single scrivet and can hence be easily lost!

I've seen a few vans with that bit missing. An opportunity for someone with a 3D printer I think.

Just to revive this thread, I'm starting a project to try & have these available in ABS plastic & carbon fibre reinforced plastic by early August. Have just purchased a 3D printer big enough to manufacture them in one piece. Website will carry updates on the design process & progress, I'll be 3D modelling & prototyping this month. Any other parts you're looking for, let me know, I can do approx 400mm long parts, so these pieces of trim, the tool door hatch etc, which I'm going to do for myself in carbon fibre reinforced because it gets a lot of kicks from the step.
