Help with tow straps

[edkillick]

I'm looking at getting a tow strap because race car and was wondering how you actually put them on? Do you just bolt them to the existing tow hook or is there some
Hacking at the bumper involved? Got a mk2 front bumper if that's any help.
Cheers

if your towing eye sticks out of the front bumper then you shouldnt need a towing strap, in the btcc the towing ring is painted yellow so it stands out. surely if its a requirement in your formulas rules then it should stated as to how it should be fitted? If its not in your rule book then dont bother wasting your cash

I've got the towing ring on my bumper obviously just a lot of the towing straps you can get I'm not sure if you bolt them to the existing ring or not. It's not that I require one I just think they look quite sporty, as I'm trying to get a more sporty look with my car instead of this euro trash haha. They're only about £20 anyway, they look like they have a female end on them with a hole to put a bolt though so they stay on. Really hard to explain but look up luke tow straps and the chunk of metal on the end is what I'm talking about just can't find any decent fitting guides for them

Just use a shackle to attach it to the original hook. Just Make surr its strong enough tho.

Thanks mate will give that a try.
Going to look at putting either c20let in over Xmas this year and track use only, or put a 1.6 8v over this summer for a daily haha decisions!
