Has anyone done one and does the coupe have towbar fixing points. Just checked my manual and it says something about making up plates to attach to the bottom of the car.

Anyone know if the attaching of a towbar is a simple bolt on job or more complicated ?

do that and you will be banned from this forum laugh
coupe would look horrid with a tow bar hanging off the back not to say how bad it would look with a trailor/caravan too frown


Dont do it, put towbar on the other halfs car.


But hey if you do want to do it i would of thought that sounds about rite making some sort of fixing points as from what ive seen underneath the coupe there is no where as standard to attach one too.

It does read as though you have to drill your own holes and fabricate mounting plates.

cheers, thought it was just a case of bolting one on, certainly not going to start chopping my coupe around. I will instead sell the coupe and and buy a sensible / comfortable and reliable estate car. It was for a bike rack so not towing a caravan (I suppose I could buy a caravan and have it painted in vinci grey, get some alloy redo the caravan interior in leather.... mmm.....)

oh and I dont currently have a muse, but if I did, she wouldn't be getting a drive in my LE despite her pert breasts and sensible frugal bike carrying estate car.

Not got time to look for the link, but there was one on e bay at the weekend.... advert said it was detachable which i took to mean you clip something back on when you want to tow..

It's important to set a few boundaries in a relationship.
