Tow Point

[vr6mike]

Just had a quick look for the tow point so I can illegally tow it up the road to my mechanic but couldn't see it. Am I blind? Any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Mike

The front one is behing the reflective cap between the indicator and the fog light (if you have one) on the drivers side. There is a screw in hook that should be with the car somewhere (although I don't have mine).

The rear tow point is behind a cover, again the drivers side, in the lower black plastic bumper bit.

I'm not at home or I could whip up a quick photoshop with an arrow and upload it for you

Ah, cheers Hawk. Yep I know it. Thanks for the quick reply!

For anyone else reading might as well let you know in case you didn't already (I didn't!) NRMA apparently don't include free tow service for lowered or even modified cars. Just had the towie come out (who didn't seem like he wanted to be there). 5 secs in, sorry mate it's lowered, can't help you. NRMA policy. F@ckers! Anyone else aware of this?

Guess I'm cancelling my membership then.

Cheers,
Mike

Geez thats harsh, my golf is lowered 1.5 inches all round and the tow truck driver didn't care, I just had to take the front lip off and put the tow bolts into the towing eyes. Maybe next time take off the front lip so its not so obvious.

NRMA are a bunch of ****s. You're lucky the towie even came out for you at all. Mine left me for dead after calling up and explaining my situation. There's too much small print on their contract/terms and conditions.
