Apparently there are some places around that do a much tidier job in cutting and sealing (than Ford, of course), and also heard whispers that some workshops can hide the hitch away behind replaceable plastic so your rear bar looks stock unless tow in use.Have not yet done the ring around to confirm.

I did see online a place on Parramatta Rd that fits Haymen Reece bars so I might give them a call. Any ideas where else to go? About not fitting a tow bar to these cars, at the end of the day its just a car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
