Small bumper rear valance cover?

Do you know if there is any abs fibreglass cover available that goes over the rear panel on a small bumper car. I was looking at my car at the mot station and one bit i dont like is the rear panel that shows. It would be much nicer if it the was body coloured and smooth rather than the stonechip effect. Thought of a tech 2 rear bumper as this is a deeper and combines a rear panel cover but that wouldn't match the front.
Any ideas? not after any fancy kit just a cover same design as the rear panel that can be painted body colour.

Ive had two of these now on various cars. Quality has always been good and fit is spot on. The only downside is the towing eye is covered over,i cut the hole myself on my last touring.

Mine was something tuning and came from Poland i believe via a chap in sevenoaks. This was a couple of years back now.
Heres the first one i bought on another touring of mine-
As said the fit was great. All i had to do was put a couple of self tappers in each side where the parts fits at the wheelarches,very simple and sorted in 10 mins!

Will this panel fit without cutting a hole for the towing eye

Looks like it will but you won't be able to access it.

Why not strip off the stonechip and get it have it painted, there is a smooth untextured stonechip available you could apply that first then have it painted, Oz (oguz327) has this done on his rear valance, looks good.
