I want to fit a tow bar to my wee fiesta st so I can trolley my bikes to track days on a small trailer.

Ive looked on google if it can be done but it just takes me to max power like websites were people get in stupid arguments about how it will effect the performance, theres fk all there to start with!

so can it be done, I dont want to have the bumper cut though that is a must!

ideally something that can go on and off and you would never notice it

I had heard it wasnt approved for towing but I thought fk its only 200 kilos at most. thats less than a car full.

The problem isn't so much whether it's capable of it or not; it's whether your insurance company would just laugh at you if you tried to claim for an accident while towing.
Cracking point. thats that then, never thought about that.

Just to be clear, I'm not actually saying that they would. But it would certainly always be a nagging worry for me.
the fact id have to cut the bumper, it isnt rated and it could be an issue with insurance is enough for me to think, fk it ill rent a van
