   Hey,
   Just wondering on peoples opinions on my tow hook??
   
   
   I like it however I am thinking of painting the blue hoop, white?
   It's properly screwed in and everything so can actually be used for towing!
   
   Cheers for your opinions!

   Looks ..... strong, blue and the right shape.
   
   Is that the type of opinion you were looking for?

   Haha I was meaning do people think it looks good, whether they think it'd look better white or whether it's just a no go altogether!

   Looks alright but then that also depends on what colour other parts of your car are.

    I like the look, as long as it doesn't rattle otherwise it would annoy me.

    Naa its not loose at all! Its tight and takes some effort to move the angle of it! You can loosen them or tighten them with a bolt

    The tow hook that comes underneath the seat does the job fine? I dont see the point wasting money on something for towing your car away when its broken down to put it back under the seat or whatever again.

    It stays on the car all the time! I personally think it looks good! Its different from the normal tow strap!

    What thread size did that have. I've been looking everywhere for one but they don't have the right size thread.

    Cant remember off the top of my head! Think M12, mine didnt come with right thread, I just bought a bolt the right size, then cut the head off and just used that thread if you get me? You have to make it fit yourself basically
