Spare wheel cover (hard type)

    Hi folks, I've searched the net in vain for an original hard cover for the spare wheel on a RAV4. I've found plenty of "pimp my ride" type things and plenty of soft covers, but not the original for an 03 Rav. My gf's rav is silver, but I'd imagine, I could get one sprayed to match. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Try various breakers? Traynors?

    95% of the Ravs I see around the place are with their cover intact. I see the odd one here or there without.

    Might be worth just approaching someone and offering to buy it off them. I'd say most people couldn't really care less about the cover (and some people may even like the look of the exposed wheel on the back).

    Alternatively, of course, you could contact Toyota, but I'd say you'll pay silly money.

    If it were me I'd just get rid of the plastic back part and give the wheel and tyre a good polishing.
    They actually look good without the cover if the wheel and tyre is clean.
    If there's no centre cap on the spare, put one on.
    Otherwise you're looking scrapyards or toyota dealer.
