i do like these but iirc its 3 points per protruding object...I know a few people who have been warned by old bill and have had to take their canards off...

If that's the case Trails, most Impreza exhausts are illegal. Nice to see plod being consistent again.

What about the fabric strap type ones? Think Frayz has one on his. They're made out of seatbelt material so plenty strong enough and look

it's to do with pedestrian safety iirc Matt...in the same way front bike plates are illegal

So it's just the front?

i think it's the type of object, presumably canards will be categorised in the same group as metal bull-bars...although one of my friends used to get nicked regularly when he had one of those ridiculous stinger 'zorsts on his bug back in the day

Just been out to take this pic of mine.

So these just bolt over the existing hook ?

Ebay one, bound to fit, they look universal.

Civic CRX Type R Integra REAR TOW HOOK TOWING EYE ek9 on eBay (end time 06-Sep-09 18:19:34 BST)

Bockett

Yes.

My Datum 1 Tow Hook bolts over the OEM Tow Eye on the rear. I'm looking at doing a front Tow Hook but for the Bugeye requires a bit of cutting.

They are universal

So as not to cluster the thread.....

Depends on what model you want to put them on, Nukabe seem to be then best for most types bit are not removable, however in japan you can get a traction tow hook for the hawkeye which is.

Heres my Nukabe's.




Hows it going Dave? Engine rebuilt? booked in for Snetteron in October if your up for it?

DaveBeck

iTrader: (12)

Alright Guv, long time mate. Cars looking awesome as usual. Defo want them hooks. have you had any interest from the law?

Engine built and run in. Problem is that because it sat for 8 months i have parts that have corroded solid. drop links, brakes need skimming plus ive just become a dad 3 weeks ago so car is on the back boiler.
Aiming to get it mapped next month as long as engine holds out(had an issue but builder is happy for it to be mapped). My aim is to have a running car for tunnel run 09.

Dont think i will get on track till next year but def want to meet up with you guys again perhaps i'll even clean her next time

Guv

iTrader: (8)

Not as of yet, however you are the second person to say that today, Have too see what happens when it does.

Congratulations dude, boy or a girl? Hope all goes well with the motor, will you be using JGM? I will look out for you at the tunnel run

DaveBeck

iTrader: (12)

Little boy to pass the bug down to, as no one wants to buy a ugly bug getting no sleep at moment lol

Using JGM of course defo keep an eye out for you mate.

Thats baaaddd!! Where can I get one from & how much??

ps Guv how much was your Nukabe & where from?

I only want a rear one.

Bockett

Lol you're the 3rd or 4th person to enquire about it. I don't have the exact link but as usual it was from the States. It does stick out more than the Nukabe.

Ricky did you see it in the flesh today?

rickya

iTrader: (18)

Where you at the meet today?? Sorry I didnt meet you if you did I came down late & left early as I didnt have my car & got a lift down there & lift back home.

Bockett

Loving the towing hooks.

100 quid for a little bit of metal is a bit steep tho!

perhaps we can get a group buy on them?
