focus st tow bar?
Hi There, can anyone help me. I have a Focus st2 & seriously need a tow bar but apparently Ford don't do them for the ST's. probably due to the rear exhaust silencer being in the way & possibly the rear bumper being to low. Does anyone know if one has been fitted to an ST if the rear exhaust could be re routed. Will a standard focus tow bar fit the ST bodyshell??? thanks Rich (Shropshire)

I've looked into this in very great detail, even seeking the advice of a barrister I know if the tow bar can be fitted without having to modify the tow bar in any way, then it's 100% legal.
When a tow bar is designed, and put forward for approval they absolutely do not and don't need to supply a car of every single trim and model type in that range to get approval, it's called block approval, witter made a tow bar for fords then new 3 door cossie in 1986, even though ford say can't tow this was commissioned by ford HQ themselves.
On my sapphy I found the std sapphy bar fitted perfectly with no cutting of the rear bumper at all, it's bloody close to needing to be cut but not quite
