Rear tow hook removal

A

andy s

the cars going in to get the rest of the kit done soon, and the tow hook sticks out bit much for my liking and its a rusting,

seen Naylor and Andy have had their ones removed and the bumper/ splitter flushed in which looks pretty smart, and would like to do the same,

hovever will this pass the MOT without the rear tow hook :confused: or would be best to have one installed lower down on the back near the bottom of the splitter. :confused:
 
it'll pass the MOT no probs, just simply hack saw the bugger of from underneath & have your bumper plastic welded, easy :D
 
i had to use a hack saw because the grinder was too big to fit behind the rear skirt :confused:
all though a dremel mite work !

think ill take the bumper off, its gotta come off to fit the splitter anayways, then woo hoo, grinder time :p .

i thought you would have needed to tow hook for the mot like :confused:
 
sheesh I mean give andy credit for the mad mods he's got but not for what he aint got pmsl (last time I checked he didnt have it done though.....)

get it done, the only bad thing about it is, if you go off the road into a big bush or ditch, its gonna be awkward to get the car out, not towing hook to connect it to, but will pass MOT no bother, Im gonna smooth the front one out next

Ive just taken my lasses off, she got a smooth rear end cheap with the plate relocated into the bumper already, but the hole for the towing eye was still there, as its only a slit I filled it before it got sprayed, and grinded the towing eye off, its been MOT'd since doing that and the only thing they failed it on was the handbrake not being very good(which turned out to be some grease turned sticky putty in the back of the caliper), and that garage was quite harsh with her car inspection wise

Lol yeah i've had mine removed ever since the rear light conversion in the summer mate, had to be done as it got red hot during flaming competitions lol

Also for the record as its been bandied about on here recently my rear number plate recess is off a P2 106 and not my original one, just to be different :p
