Breaky Run - Brisbane

Harlequin · 04-16-2012, 10:52 PM

So Brisbane BMW want $112 for a new Tow-Hook Cover.

$40 for the part and $70 to paint it...

Some of the guys on Sunday said that it should be free as these things come off all the time... Anyone got any experience with this?

I'm looking forward to some of Andrew's shots though from the roadside and up on the hill at the resort.

I think those shots will come out really well. I'm looking forward to seeing them too.

What the... if mine goes missing I know who's taken it!

Btw, I think you should just put your tow hook on permanently and roll around like a boss

I would have thought the tow hook cover have a bungy cord style attachment so if it came out, it would just dangle. Pretty poor if it pops out that easy.

But if you put a towhook on the cover would be flying around all over the place on the race track if its hanging by a cord...

Don't want a poser-tow-hook on all the time... I'd feel like I'd need to buy pants 4 sizes too big and wear a backwards baseball cap...

Angus you should definitely rock the towhook and matching gangster attire!

I'd be pushing the warranty angle harder. If any piece fell off my car while driving on the road I would expect it be fixed.
