Removable Tow Hook

A few people have sent PM's asking me what the car looks like with the detachable tow hook on and off..................

Tow Hook On

Tow hook off from a distance

Tow hook off a bit closer, note the receiver has a blanking plug and that the electrics are not exactly hidden away which is a pity

Note the cut out in the Dynamic "spoiler" has a nice finisher around the cut out, just a pity that the whole thing couldn't be hidden away like RRS and D3/D4's have where even the electrics are invisible if you have the factory tow kit fitted

Please excuse the last couple of photos - we have 60mph winds here today and driving rain, not great weather for photo taking!

RE: Removable Tow Hook

At least the bits are still shiny enough to be camouflaged by the shiny rear valance..........

RE: Removable Tow Hook

I notice that I managed to leave some of the grass it acquired still wedged into the rear!

RE: Removable Tow Hook

Yes that was exactly my thought when I saw what was up inside the rear valance. I already have rusting on mine as you can see...........

RE: Removable Tow Hook

I hope that rust is just on an exhuast hanger rather than part of the chassis Shocked
