-
I offered mine FREE to anyone who wishes to come along and remove it. UNSIGHTLY things if you have no need for them.
-
yes i couldnt stand the sight of it,just didnt get around to doing it sooner.if anybody wants it,it is just sitting in the shed.

You'll both regret taking it off if someone rear ends you! ::) ;)

Agreed JC, I would rather shop in Asda @ noon on xmas eve than have a bloody tow bar. Yukkkkk ;D ;D ;D

Generally, you come off better, if someone takes you up the back end. (no, that came out all wrong..........)
I meant, in an accident, you might come off a bit better with a towbar. (thats a bit better.)

Depends why you have an Omega ... I bought mine SPECIFICALLY to tow ... The car was dropped off to have the bar fitted on the way home... :)
Each to their own ... :)

I have an Irmscher grille on mine, but on the rear spoiler it says PRODRIVE, so must not be Irmscher.
-
if anyone has a spare tow bar off a saloon (complete set-up) that they don't want I am looking for one to fit on my car - I am happy to part with the odd drinks voucher if they can parcel it up and I would get a courier to collect.

What've you done with the socket(s)? I'd take it off completely, you're adding a potential electrical problem if it's dangling in the breeze. They're not difficult to wire up if needed. :y
-
i have cable tied it to the car,not dangling at all.i may get it removed at some point.at the moment i am debating whether to keep the miggy or get somethingelse,cant decide 100% :-?

I had mine serviced last year by a man who knows his auto boxes... The dealers all take their cars to him :o
He said that the Omega setup is fine as standard unless you're planning to tow across a dessert :y :y
