no where to really tie it without damaging the bumper etc. will have to have a check, just think it would be more sensibile/practical to have one

probably best to see if you could get a removable one like they have on new cars that screws in and hide it behind a fog light ?? depenging on how hard they are to remove and how far they stick out once screwed in ?

You can get the type tony is talking about from us (VW) the little plate that welds in has the thread in, and the towing eye can be screw in or out, about £10 worth of parts

I bought a long bolt with an eyelet on,

then welded a nut that fits this onto the front chassis member, so you just screw the bar in and then tighten up the locking nut,
works a treat
