Hiya!

Does anyone know if this tow bar on ebay from a y reg saloon would fit my 1999 saloon?

Thanks very much!

yep that will fit

3 observations

1. you need to watch whether it is type approved.  I cannot remember what the specific date of manufacture of the vehicle is for it to need to be.

2. towbars now form part of the MOT test

3. It seems to be missing the  spacers at the rear: see the long bolts? there are couple of pipe spacers that go inside the floor pan to stop the bolts crushing it.  Easy to fabricate but worth point out
