Tow Hook
Anyone know what this looks like?
OPTION - C4 "V70 Front Tow Hook - Export"
Thanks for any info, I need to install a tow point on my C4 front and rear and really do not want to alter anything, just bolt something on?

PS - V76 - also as an RPO Tow Hook?

This IS for road racing, still haven't quite got the car ready for the Newfoundland Targa and I'm leaving on the 8th of September!

I will tell you what Im going to try doing. If you remove the license plates there is some sort of frame crossmember. I am thinking of welding some sort of eyelet to that, so a tow truck can hook on to it should it need too, but then it would be hidden when you put the plate back on. I have not looked into this too much but I am leaning this direction if its possible.

This one looks a little too robust for a racing application.

If you open the hood there is a crossmember where the hinges of the hood bolt to. That seems to be pretty solid no? Is that the piece you are talking about being thin?
