Is it safe to drive without front bumper toe eye cap ?

[Shak]

I just hit something and i found that my cars front bumpers toe eye cap ( white round cover at the bottom left ) is missing. When I looked inside i saw that there is something like iron with a whole. Now is it safe to drive without toe eye cap ?

The only thing under the cap is a threaded hole to screw the tow eye into. The tow eye should be ijn the tool bag with the wheel brace.

The cover over the tow eye hole is there for cosmetic purposes, and to keep the tow eye hole threads clean. Short term, there is no problem driving without the cover. Long term, it should be replaced.

I always drive at least 700 km minimum for work. Any trouble I am expecting mate ?

I always drive 700 km minimum. As long as the car is not getting stopped at freeway putting me in risk would be okay..

Yes, the cap is mainly there for cosmetic reasons - it covers the hole and prevents a lopsided view of the car. I would not expect any noticeable difference in driving without it.

Long term, it helps keep the tow eye mounting threads clean. It's not something to worry needlessly about but should be replaced at some point. You would most likely have to find one at a wrecking yard,or order one from a Toyota dealer.
