Hi All

I was giving the car a car a good clean last night and when I came to the front I noticed that around the front towing eye, the plastic on the front lip is slightly pushed up, making the towing eye cover not fit properly, not sure how this happened, the rest of the front of the car looks fine though- here's a photo where it's just visible-

a close up picture would be beneficial... ... - .- -.

Many thanks for the photo,

Certainly does look like mines too high, I'll pop down and have a look now,

That happens with an over zealous recovery driver who has winched it on his truck, chocked the wheels and then tightened the winch again bending the tow point upwards...

If you have a big enough prybar you should be able to pass it through the top of the tow hook, brace it against the front crossbar and bend the tow hook down to where it should be... Pete

Many thanks,

Just been to have a look, certainly does look like that's when happened, seems much higher than it should be.
I've taken the cover off for now, seems to look neater and more straight.

I shall have a look in the garage, see if I have one, if not I'll pop down to the local garage, see if they have one,

Many thanks again

James
