Generally, you come off better, if someone takes you up the back end. (no, that came out all wrong..........)
I meant, in an accident, you might come off a bit better with a towbar. (thats a bit better.) |

I have an Irmscher grille on mine, but on the rear spoiler it says PRODRIVE, so must not be Irmscher. |

if anyone has a spare tow bar off a saloon (complete set-up) that they don't want I am looking for one to fit on my car - I am happy to part with the odd drinks voucher if they can parcel it up and I would get a courier to collect.

What've you done with the socket(s)? I'd take it off completely, you're adding a potential electrical problem if it's dangling in the breeze. They're not difficult to wire up if needed. :y |

Title: Re: tow bar Post by evo1968 on 23. Mar 2010 at 20:02
i have cable tied it to the car,not dangling at all.i may get it removed at some point.at the moment i am debating whether to keep the miggy or get somethingelse,cant decide 100% :-?

I had mine serviced last year by a man who knows his auto boxes... The dealers all take their cars to him :o He said that the Omega setup is fine as standard unless you're planning to tow across a dessert :y :y |
