Even if you don't use a towbar, I always think it's nice to have in case anyone rear ends you
I've had a couple of slow speed bumps, and when i've gone to check, once there was no damage, and the other time, there was a small scratch
I had a small scratch, and the mondingo that crashed into me had a smashed bumper - out with the touch up pen, and mine was unnoticeable
Ok, towbars may ruin the aesthetics, but i've rather have it than not

im hoping it comes off easily, there is a long bar behind the bumper with several bolts in it but i think i can take the whole bar off with just 2 bolts, and the bar is just part of the tow bar itself

there should be two bolts on either side that bolt onto the car chassis,take them off and i think it should come off in one piece

well theres a couple of bolts that are bolted onto the spare wheel well, and another 4 or so behind the bumper, some look hard to get to

the bolts im looking at might just be part of the towbar tho and not what bolts to the car, hard to tell, i need to buy a few different size 1/2 bits so i can use my breaker bar on them
