What's this thing called?

[audiomagnate]

I'm going to list it and I have no idea what it's called.

 

[HB Chris]

Rear trim panel, rear license plate trim panel, thingy between the tail lights panel?

 

[Stevehose]

annodized aluminum rear center panel?

the part number is 51131812919 but that might be for the euro version with rear fog light cutout, the other one (USA version?) in the diagram has no part number. In the catelogue it's just called "cover."

I like no 3, but I'm going to go with no 2. Thanks.

The early panels were made of chromed brass and the later ones are made of anodized aluminum. The chromed brass panels should bring a little more $$$.

Since the word "thingy" is the term most people will use to search for this part, make sure you include the alternative spelling of "thingie" in your ad. Would be a shame if the one person who most wants this part only uses the less-common spelling. ;-) GLWS!

Has anyone got a usa spec version of this panel? I want to put my fog light into the panel instead of having to bolt it to the underside of the rear valance.
