   Do you mean the one for the front or the back of the car mate, the front one is under the back seat and screws on through a hole on the front bumper and the rear one should be apart of you chassis, if thats snapped ioff like mine did you want to chacek your car for rust, you can simply grind one off a saxo from a scrappy and have it welded on to yours :d

   well on the front I want a nice strap, and on the back, I want one that will come under and out with a big eye, jdm style.

   For the front you will want a TRS tow strap, they are about £10 on ebay, and you will need an M12 bolt, to screw it in
   
   no point getting a JDM style rear, on a french car..

   I don't understand these straps that people fit... Heaven forbid if you need to tow a car using a solid bar which you're supposed to do. It'll just end up writing off the front of your car.

   ^^This. They are designed for track use, which is what I use mine for. Most people dont even carry the standard one.

    i think the straps look great, if you breakdown on the road just swap it over to the solid eye, just commen sense really
