FABIA TOWBAR

[Joe C]

hOW WOULD I REMOVE THE FACTORY FITTED TOWBAR ON MY SKODA FABIA 1.4 HPI 2005 MODEL? anyone know, its so ugly looking lol

remove the 2 tail lights (4 8mm nuts on each lamp), under neat each lamp there is 2 T25 torx screws, then 4 more torx on each wing liner going into the bumper and 4 on the bottom of the bumper. when all removed, the bumper clips off ( clipped underneat quater panels) slide off bumper. then on each side of the chassis leg there is 2 17mm bolts, remove them and towbar should slide out (make sure u disconnect the wiring inside the car first!) replace the towbar with a bumper bar (incase u get a bang at the rear!!!) and do everything in reverse order!!! job done :yes:
