A D Inactive Members 1 Member For: 16y 7m 19d Location: Geelong VIC Posted 10/04/08 07:33 AM Share Posted 10/04/08 07:33 AM G'day All, I just picked up my 2006 BF Tornado #0176 2nd hand two weeks ago. It's Bionic, Auto, 19" Dark Agent rims, Leather, Tint, FPV Steering wheel, Hard lid and spoiler and 20,000ks on the clock.I love this thing! Man what a machine. I'll take some pics over the weekend and post them here.It doesn't have a towbar so I was wondering what type and how other people have fitted towbars to their FPVs. From looking the rear skirt panels are a bit different to XRs and I was hoping not to have to cut the body work.Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've searched the forum but couldn't find it easily.Thanks Aaron Geelong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I can remember which dealer it was. Hunt around this is the only way I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I can remember which dealer it was. Hunt around this is the only way I would do it.I was told that by the dealer as well, however when the towbar guy came out to fit it, he told me they still had to cut a slot in the removable skirt to fit the square hitch type. If there is one that goes under the whole lot I'd like to see it? If mine went under the rear beaver panel it would be touching the road!I'll try and remember to get a picture, it doesn't sit THAT low, it protudes probably 50mm below the skirt?
