XR5 Tow-bar

LRsedan · 20-11-2009, 06:39 PM

Hey guys,

Been thinking of adding a tow-bar to my XR5.

Only one thinking is playing on my mind, how it will look.

Does anyone here have a pic of their tow bar on an XR5? I've read some people have them but haven't seen a pic.

Just wondering how it will look with the rear lower "defuser" design that the XR5 has.

Thanks in advance for the help

They cut into the rear difuser, but it's under the car, so i'm not concerned about it.

I took these quickly in the garage, Sunday I am at a car show, so I'll get better photo's. But for now, you can see how it looks. To give you a fair indication.

I'll get some lower shots with the back in full view

Thanks for the pics mate, looks better than I expected.

I can see the part of the diffuser they have removed, I agree its not something I would worry about.

No probs. And to be honest, you hardly even notice it. I see the tow bar first and they did a fairly good job on the cut. So I'm happy with it.

I must have missed you yesterday. We were parked at the end. Out of curiousity, does your last name start with a "C", and you have a greenish coloured Capri?

Yes and Yes and a White one too! I knew Cbr was a small town, but jeesh !! (degree of separation probably 1.
Scored some pick of your car...awesome !! Great day and great location.
I also accosted a feloow Mondeo owner in the carpark. He was very entusiatic about the finish and power of the XR5 (MA in Tonic).

Then I'm pretty sure that we worked for the same govie department about 16 or 17 years ago.

I saw that car go past. I like the toxic colour. Post some of those pics
