Missing Rear fog light plastic insert

Hi guys. I've only had my car for a couple days now and I already have a missing rear fog light plastic insert. It must have slipped out on my bumpy way home.

Would I be covered under warranty for such a piece? If not how much are those anyways? I have the JCW aero kit but I'm assuming those plastic pieces were taken from the stock bumper.

You could talk to your dealer and try to convince him that it must have been installed improperly, or defective. It shouldn't just fall off.

If you have a cooper and this is the chrome piece around the fog light this is the part number and price from classic mimi of Cleveland:
51 12 2 753 653 retail $24.10

This should be covered under your warranty though.

Intendoe,
If you mean the oval shaped black plastic insert, I have one I'll sell you for $5, shipped. I have it because I added one of these: http://www.minspeed.net/MMBUL.htm which I like a lot. It really illuminates your rear as you're backing up, and the work to install it was not difficult. If you want the insert, let me know and we'll work out the details.

The description says for 05-06 models... Did it fit on a 07 model?
