A couple of people on the old list had these fitted, think they were done at a main dealer using the one fitted to a fiesta, however, they did look out of plac e on the pumas curvy bum

Wasn't there a problem with fitting a tow bar. Something about it tearing the whole arse of the car off in the event of an accident or something??

Apparently so :/

Having said that, I would certainly consider fitting one that allowed you to remove the "ball riser" (for want of a better description) - unfortunately I don't own a jetski to tug behind the car :?

Can't think of anything else looking "cool" to tow, can you :?:

em... not recomemnded to fit a to bar, Jamie did a really good reply last time this came up.. just be careful that u may not have insurance.... the Puma was not designed and or tested for a towing.

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale
