Title: Can you fit a tow bar to an Edition 30?
Post by: Dave_M on August 14, 2011, 05:52:35 pm

As title, I'm thinking about getting an Edition 30 but would really want to get a tow bar on it as I occasionally tow a car trailer with an all up weight of about 850kg.

Thanks
Dave

Think its punishable by law if you do that.  :signLOL:

Yeh, I know!  Promise it won't ever see a caravan attached to it!  It would need to be a completely removable one as I don't want anyone thinking I'm a caravanner.

I looked at this as this is OEM equipment -

But it says not ED30 (as do they all).  This could be for a number of reasons but one that was always an issue with Fabia vRS owners was not that it didn't fit but that the car had not been type approved for towing.
