Is anyone willing to 3D print and sell me a replacement cover for the rear bumper trailer plug outlets? 
I’ve read a few posts with you guys owning 3D printers - might as well get your monies worth 😎.
I lost mine ages ago 4WD in sloppy mud conditions and tried buying a replacement on EvilBay but it never arrived.
Do you still need to source the clips to secure the panel or is it all included?
Now that I think about it - might be best to buy two.
I’m located in Perth.
Cheers!

With the amount I see missing, that might be a highly sought after bit of plastic!

Check out eBay. I got one a couple of years ago, including clips. From China of course. 
Currently listed from about $27.
(Just realised you tried eBay.)

It’s not really the sort of thing I’d print on a 3D printer.

Although a modified version designed to fit with a mitch hitch would be good, reinforced where the section would need to be cut away.

Nah.
Just cut it in half and trimmed it to fit around the Mitch Hitch.

I've just installed one of these:
Discovery 3 & 4 Trailer Socket Cover (https://www.designdevelopmenteng.co.uk/shop/Discovery-3-&-4-Trailer-Socket-Cover-p389433933)
 I call it the Prado Flap because I was forever having to take my plastic off to recover my mate's Prado. (Yes, I know, he was a mate before he bought the Prado).
Anyhoo, the original is free to you if you want it. It's faded a bit (2011 model), with a some cosmetic damage courtesy of a trailer hitch that jumped into the way once.
PM me if you want to collect or want a pic.
I'm in the western burbs of said fair city.

You'd think! Alas, 'tis only machined aluminium.

I did the same for my Mitch hitch, but without cutting it in half.  The top section has a horizontal ridge strong enough to provide re-reinforcement along with the two plastic retaining clip bolts at the bottom which hold everything in place.

Might just get my cover out which is brand new and came with the car 4 1/2 years ago and trim it to fit.
