Default Looking for a tow hook cover

I have a 2006 Jaguar XKR convertible in black. I lost the tow hook cover and i'm having a very hard time finding one, unless of course, I'm willing to pay $200 to the dealer for an unpainted one. Does anyone have an idea on how to locate one, preferably in black.
Thanks.

Default Used a short bolt to fill the hole

+1 to BCP

When I first got the car I noticed the tow hook was missing, and the front hole was full of crud. The cost of the plastic cover shocked me, so when I got the tow hook (surprisingly cheap), I just found a short bolt with the same thread and filled the hole. Lubbed it up with copper grease, and put a spare socket and wrench in the tool kit under the spare wheel.
