Front tow hook... Will this fit?

[Dani_B19]

Anyone know if this will fit my s3:

Universal European Model Car Auto Trailer Ring Eye Tow Hook Towing Front | eBay

it says the screw base is 16mm wide! Is that right?

Anyone?

Dani if I'm right in saying the s3 toe eye is the same as the a3 then its not a screw in one its a fixed in place one. Then you dont need this.

Unless you've cut yours off you want one of the tsr fabric toe straps.

Daemon tweeks sell them.

Unsure mate, i know mine is a screw in one, you know the silver all in one cast jobbies? Ive looked atthe straps but i prefer this lol.

I guess ill just stop helping people lol I just took a guess at them all been the same.

Right the above wont fit, seems too small, i believe the s3 is 18/19mm but cant seem to measure it right. Anyone know the exact size of the s3 tow hole?

whats wrong with the cast one you get with the car.

[Dani_B19]

Why bother unless its a track car?
im sick of seeing corsa's and saxo's sporting "race spec" tow straps

Ive got one as my FMIC pipes block the original tow eye fixing point. The strap tucks behind the pipe and can be pulled through in case I ever need towing. I never have it on show unless I'm on a track.

Thats more than ok Westy,
You have reason for it, But a full on stock road car? some times even with a thin slit cut in the bumper for it to poke out of?

 

[Dani_B19]

Too late, already bought haha, for under £8, if it doesnt fit or looks ****, ill either flog it or bin it.

I've seen my fair share of ****box cars on the road with a tow stap hanging out the front bumper. Most of the time they're not even fixed, they're cable tied!
