Clio Tow Straps, Yes or No?

[ben_r1]

Tow eyes seem to be the thing to do atm and seeing as they arent currently avaliable for the 197 i went to R.Sport and got a tow strap from the race cars.

Thing is i cant make my mind up if i like it or not. Split opinions everywhere i go too. Shall i keep it or lose it:

Now you have to imagine the length half the size it is now as i fold it over itself like a loop...

Opinions needed!

 

[Dangerous_dave]

lol - my opinion is that it doesnt look good at all

 

[not normal dan]

dunno i kind of like the look of that pal

 

[Weeman]

Two words

Tempting + fate

If your car has a full cage and 4 degrees of neg camber it looks epic, if not, you look silly imo. Track and race cars only.

 

[JayR]

To put it bluntly i think it looks s**t Ben and to make things worse you have ruined your front bumper for life!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Looks shite, just like the tow eyes.

Nothing taking it out and putting the blanking cap back in wont sort... :nono:

 

[Bazzon]

On a track/race car where it is needed yes. on a road car i looks daft. (same tow eyes)

 

[JayR]

Nothing taking it out and putting the blanking cap back in wont sort... :nono:

Is that what it is!?

I fail then as i have never paid that much notice to the fact the front bumpers on our even has a blanking cap! lol

 

[Gally]

Lols at thinking he had cut his bumper up!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

On track or nout

 

[Sarah]

looks stupid, leave it without, spoils a good looking car

 

[mr bognor]

Not for me

 

[Nickharding]

Not for me buddy, fit the OMP Toy eye instead

Edit: But grind the paint off so its bare metal, cover it in laqure if you have to so it dont rust

 

[geesus69]

only look good on a race/track only car

 

[Vish]

Doesn't look good in my opinion.

 

[ben_r1]

Let me half it up like i said and i'll repost pics 2moro lol, trust me you'll be sold on it

 

[Dangerous_dave]

*awaits modification*

 

[Andyman]

Looks like its been on the back of a recovery truck and theyve forgot to take the rachet strap off

 

[Curtis!]

You need camber like this + cage for win.

 

[ben_r1]

I have the cage, and adjustable top mounts are being fitted this week so could get the camber if desired.

 

[Sarah]

Let me half it up like i said and i'll repost pics 2moro lol, trust me you'll be sold on it

its the colour.....dye it white or black

 

[Nick172Cup]

I quite like it! If it wasnt so big, or just wrapped up it would better. A different colour also would make it look better also. Do they do these for the Mk2's?

 

[Gally]

Yeah it's the colour, looks maky aswell like an old tow rope.

 

[Weeman]

Good look trying to keep it clean, I'll look forward to the "detailed my tow strap, new pics" thread.

 

[geesus69]

You need camber like this + cage for win.

where has this pic come from? link to more?

*dribble*

 

[TrophyDan]

I dont get it, same with the towing eye.
Isn't it just like admitting your reno is s**t - breaks down alot / gets towed regularly

 

[Jay Payne]

 

[Gally]

It was posted in a 200 thread mate. That was the only one I think.

 

[Tom]

i like it.

 

[Weeman]

nope its for the hardcore track look, except without the cage, semi slicks and neg camber it just looks silly.

I put a tow eye on my track car, and info as to where it was located, and et voila

hence the don't tempt fate lol

 

[Si]

Have one of mine, Ben. We both know you want to. lol. new prototype should be sorted next week

 

[Fletcher]

I quite like it!

 

[jdh91]

strap anit working for me, tow eyes on the othe hand look great.

 

[Vicky.]

Have one of mine, Ben. We both know you want to. lol. new prototype should be sorted next week

How long you gonna make me wait lol? I reckon it needs to be about 240mm long for your info mate

Edit: From ben_r1

 

[Marv-C]

Looks shite IMO. What's with the air scoop (think that's what it is) on all the 197s? Don't like those either :dead:

 

[cander08]

nah mate . doesnt really suit the 197. thats only my opinion though

 

[Cunney]

You need camber like this + cage for win.

That car is sexy time

Don't like it at all on yours mate, reminds me of when you have a pair of boxers hanging out the washing basket :-\

 

[clairemae]

If your going for a track look, then yes i like it

 

[Gaz_]

On a track/race car where it is needed yes. on a road car i looks daft. (same tow eyes)

The truth!
