I am interested in buying a used Superb II but it has a tow bar fitted. I would have no use for a tow bar and I think it detracts from the elegant looks of the car. Is it easy and cheap to remove it or should I just learn to live with it ?

Was the car supplied with the original crash beam? You will need it to replace the one they fitted with the tow bar.

I haven't bought it. Just looking. I could just learn to ignore it ... it just looks bad "architecturally" to me.

If no rear crash beam then if it is removable you could take off the ball section, if not then unbolt it. Third option would be to buy a new rear crash beam, install that and put the old set up on fleabay.

I take it that it has not got the detachable ball?

Fourth option: Go to a workshop that mounts a lot of tow bars on Superbs. The chances will be very high that they have a lot of those crash beams lying around in their waste bin...

Or you can get one of your briskoda friends?

Having just removed mine..... it is available!
