Default Tow bars

I'm looking to get a removable tow bar for taking a bike to track days - i.e. only occasional use with a light weight single bike trailer.
Any recommendations for the most inconspicuous type when removed. Pictures would help.

This is for a MY00. Thanks for any help.

Any others?

Adam, how much metalwork is visible with the bar removed?

I saw one a while back that just had a small rectangle of steel with four bolt holes visible underneath the bumber. Any ideas on which one this might be?

Mine is a '98 UK car, and has a Witter on it.

With towBALL removed (two bolts) there is a small rectangle of steel with two bolt-holes.
Even that can be removed (4 bolts) to leave just the electrics visible.

It was £150 FITTED!

it really isn't worth paying about £300 to get one that allows you to take the towball off without spanner, is it?

No metalwork is visable ... the socket is covered by a small
plastic rectangular cap. ... pays your money and takes your
choice.

Mine has a Witter.
It has been removed with the 4 bolts underneath the back of the car.
You can just about see the position where it attatches underneath , and the single electric's.
