I was thinkin about buying a tow hook, i just found out we have one in our mini tool bag. I just painted it and did a test fit....should it stay or not?
thanx for your opinions..
cheers
Leave it in the trunk. It's just there so they don't have to hook something to the suspension, If you need to be towed.
And don't let them tow you with anythng but a flatbed truck!
I think be is asking if it looks okay enough to stay on the car. The red looks good against the blue, but it is your call to leave it. You could always go through phases too. You know, leave it on for a few months and then take it off for a while.
I vote for taking it off for the street. Red color is good when it is on at the track. If you decide to leave it on and want it straight, you can use a shim/washer the right thinkness to get it to tighten straight. I think I even saw a product someone was selling that could adjust so that the tow hook was straight.
I had one one my first MINI. The only time I needed it was when I wrecked on the street. The wrecker used it to pull the car onto the flatbed. He had never seen one before. But they are a nice accent to our cars!
