Agreed - if you're going to steal it, you may as well steal the whole unit! ![]() |

I have both swan neck and fixed plate, but they both stay in the garage until needed.

yes, the towbar is an excellent 'rear protection system' ![]() hell, if a Prius drove onto the towbar and got stuck you could drive several hundred miles at 100mph+ and never realised you were 'towing' it |

I've never seen a FFRR L322 with a front tow bar................... could it be that you have to hack too much body away to get to a strong enough piece of car to fix a front tow hook too? Even though one of those sites says no need to cut body panels I wouldn't want to hack a bit out of the sump guard. I know plenty of folks with them on Defenders and Shoguns. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |
