I like the red classic, they're the type of tow hooks i want for my track car... but trying to see where the hell he has the front one mounted, i mean there is nothing there really to attach a tow hook to :s

Looks quite easy Jon,. I have been asked before about these but nothing came of it

JonMc 17 January 2010 10:07 AM

I'd be up for a rear one at least, the front would depend on how it fits around the FMIC:D

I'd be interested in a rear one...think I'll run a fabric type on the front to avoid any special interest from the feds. They don't look that pedestrian friendly so I'd image they will be the same deal as canards; 3 points per protruding part :eek:

Bockett 17 January 2010 11:40 AM

This thread always pops it's head up and nothing comes of it.
eBay UK have tow hooks but they are replica's It's the US for the real thing.

As for the legality side of things IMO my tow hook sticking out the rear is a lot less obtrusive than a Tow bar.

Those bull bars Mitsi L200's have would do more damage than a took hook.

If it's for track purposes why not just run the OEM one?

I don't know if there is any legislation or even guidelines around protruding objects and the rear bumper...the front bumper is different; I know two people who have been warned about canards use on the road. Agree re bullbars, sadly common sense is not something that our governing bodies seem to have an abundance of.

Less d!cking around when you use one of these on track; easy to locate and use, far better than laying\ kneeling down looking for the towing eye ;)

eggy790 17 January 2010 09:23 PM

anyone got a pic of the fabric style ones?

stantons golf = v cool

GB thread now up

Bockett 17 January 2010 10:46 PM

I Assume you won't mind me asking but why go for the GB?

Don't you like the fact that they are not mass produced? Not doubting CDF at all they will do a great job but i don't get why people don't go off and source the part themselves.

There's a ton of Aero parts i want but i'm not going to approach a bodyshop to knock me one up when i can source the original part. It may cost slightly more and it will be imported but there's a bespoke factor

wrighty338 18 January 2010 01:00 AM

simple - because i want a pair of tow hooks.

even though iv got bespoke parts on my car, im not going for a bespoke car, more of a 'no bull****' approach and i see it practical to have a decent pair of tow hooks that are easy accessable

you say you dont see why people dont go off and find them? why not make life easy and pay someone from the UK to do a job then someone in usa or elsewhere overseas

are you annoyed more people over here will be running them on their cars or something ?

well said Jon :thumb:

Bockett, there are sooooooooo many impreza's in the Uk that it's nigh on impossible to do something unique and if you do pull it off then it's only a matter of time before someone copies it...check out my black roof that I've been running since 2005, there's bloomin' loads now :rolleyes:

Your look is hardly unique, it's just a NASOIC car :)

Not at all. With recent conditions i'd encourage anyone to fit one

:cuckoo:

Yeah right. Believe me it's nothing to do with NASIOC. (A) It's become to common with UK guys, i seek something a little different (B) It's as bitchy on there as it is here ;)

Perhaps I've misrepresented you, if so apologies but I do remember lots of Americanisms in the aggressive offset thread :p

...I'm never bitchy, I just have a big gob :lol1:

172sport 18 January 2010 08:57 PM

Reckon I'll just make my own, its not hard and I have the material kicking about.

8mm Dural aluminium should do it I reckon.

wrighty338 18 January 2010 11:08 PM

bitchyness on here? where? :D bockett fair play wanting unique stuff for your motor mate im sure lots of people are the same, like i say iv got a few bits that are hard to come by/bespoke and your motor certainly stands out but with the tow hooks, this time. i just cannot be arsed so GB for me is it.

172sport, show us what you come up with?

Bockett 19 January 2010 08:03 AM

That's fair enough. CDF will do a great job

harvey 04 February 2010 07:16 PM

Can I have a special heavy duty that will be ok for pulling out holes in the wall.
I already have a set of 5Te chains.:nono:

Elizabeth Miranda 08 December 2019 01:35 AM

Any idea how to put one on a 19 impreza???
