Mine arrived today!! Superb product, just gotta get her fitted now!!
Just a question tho, for the classic. They have a front tow eye, is it not possible to replicate the rear type of tow eye, to fit the front??

Yes it is , I was told they didn't have anything to attach to on the front though

Think its because the newer ones have a left hand threaded removable tow eye, so they will never fit as theres nowt to thread them into.
But I`m sure that something could be done using one of those two tow eyes.

Be careful using those loops. They could be tiedown loops for transporting the car and may not be suitable for towing.

There is 2 on the removable subframe on the newage cars 2, which again I assumed were tie down loops. If you try and tow from them you'd end up pushing the bumper up and either ripping it off or cracking it

Is there going to be a front hook made for classics that will fit the fog light holes?
Cheers

I've now fitted the rear tow hook and I'm well chuffed with it!
Superb build quality I really must rate this product very highly and will get some pics up when I'm legally allowed to drive my car off the drive and get some good photo angels, lol
Thanks Chris!

Chris the tie down/tow hooks on the classic are welded on not bolted on, well they are onmy RA so its not as simple as at the back. Sorry havnt had a chance to measure the length of my set up yet.

It is the right way, or at least the lettering is, but can be adjusted to be as close to the bumper as you like

I fitted mine pointing diagonally downward as per earlier pics from Chris, but seeing Jon's I might tweek it and have it up a bit more.
As Jon said you can manover them to pretty much any angel you like
