They look amazingly stupid unless you are being towed at the time.

lol

In fact are these not only for cars with screw on tow eyes? If you were to fit one to a Corsa it'd just loop around the tow eye.

Isn't that the same as saying 'don't fit a spolier unless you're going on track'? It's serving a purpose, just that it's an improvement on the standard article.

I personally wouldn't fit one but he'll hardly look like a pleb. I'd go as far to say they look pretty cool.

As said though, that's assuming it's even possible to fit one. I can't think how you'd do it.

hm fuck that, unless there's going to be something getting in the way of the standard tow eye, intercooler or similair, just use a tow rope. It's not the type of thing that's worth that amount of hassle imo.
