I can buy a Nova with a towing hook. as a nova with a towing hook looks like s**t, i was wondering if it can be easely be removed? maybe this baby is the shell i'm looking for to kick my XE in.

If you dont mind the extra weight why not leave it on and go for sleeper look with poverty spec bumpers/grills etc

It should just un bolt, they usualy just have a bar behind them that bolts to couple of structural parts of the chassis.

Yea, as loggy said, it should unbolt.

Have a look underneath.

For a second there, i thought you meant the towing hook on the car chassis itself(in the bumper)

are there any bolt heads in the boot floor ?? it will be bolted to the chassis somewhere along the line

Yeh i though he menat the towing eye lol

Yeh there usually bolted onto the chassis legs but some have a removable 'swan neck' setup.

But then youd be left with a huge hole in your bumper.........
