I would definitely scour e-bay. I would look for one that an owner no longer wants rather than a company selling them. The companies sometimes sell more sketchy/low quality stuff. But an owner offloading is my target audience! Here's a thread of folks way back trying different options. I think some had good success with just a cheap option from Amazon. Said they couldn't tell the difference. Ymmv. Good luck, post what you find. Link
Apologies for not answering your thread the way you want them, but here's some that I've seen that aren't OEM that I think some folks reading this might like:
PowerfulUK has one that is a "hard body" from Chelsea Trucking: Link
There are many of the old-school "Africa" images. An example from Lucky8: Link
A classic Land Rover Rhino from the classic Atlantic-British: Link
Another classic supplier Rovers North has a version you can retro the heck out of it with - an original Defender cover: Link
I don't know why, but the Union Jack versions gladden my heart: Link
If you REALLY want to sport the Safari wear, you have to kit it out with Melvill & Moon: Link
And of course, my favorite from Escape Gear: Link

Thanks. I am aware of those sources- but I am specifically looking for a Silicon Silver OEM 'hard' cover....since SS is a relatively rare color, I have not found any OEM ones out there---and I am trying to avoid the China sources on Amazon and eBay but those may be my only options.
I was able to get an OEM spare tire cover from my dealer at a discount. I paid $200 for it because it was supposed to go on a customer's car but arrived damaged. And by damaged there was a scratch that was about 2mm on it. It was gloss black, but I had it sent off to be painted in the same Ceres Silver as the bumpers.
Source for an OEM Spare Tire Cover?
