Towbar. Type44 saloon

Hanuman · 08-04-11, 09:14 AM

Looking for a towbar to go on my V8.

Preferably a genuine audi one if there was such a thing. Otherwise, others considered. Hopefully, there is a version that doesn't require me chopping huge lumps out of the bumper.

Got an avant version.'don't know if there are any differences.

Remove bumper.
Slide into holes.
Do up BFO bolts.

Not too much cutting:

I'll bear it in mind, but looking at the pictures, it explains why many of the supply and fit centres are talking of chopping a great lump out of the bumper.

I'm hoping to get some more info though.

I personally think you will have trouble. Just buy another car to tow with!

Hi Mark

My donor has a detachable tow ball on it not sure if it is similar to the one that Steve has (cant get the pictures to open where i am) It is on an avant also.
