that was an idea I had but will need to go in the garage for that to be welded or some other way, just thought i'd try it with the shackle for the min, may just get the original towing sprayed the same orange as the alloys

Not keen i'm sorry. Strap will eventually damage the paintwork, and after a few miles will look like an old strap off a wagon.

Sorry, but thats possibly the second most $h!t looking mod I've seen.
Edit: No actually I've changed my mind, its even worse than the other one I was thinking of.
Do you expect to break down a lot? Why would anyone emphasise something that is only there for use when the car is broken?

Only if you don't use it as a track car......

As above..not a fan as it sits now but if you replace rather than add-to the tow eye it will work 100 times better.

Is it just me, or does it look like a fish with a tongue sticking out of its mesh mouth?
