Reading about [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/will-my-bike-fit-in-the-boot-of-a-bmw-5-series-saloon ]getting bikes in 5 Series[/url] and [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bikes-inon-a-fabia-vrs ]Fabia vRSs[/url] has got me thinking.

I had a towbar on my now sadly [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/pimpmasterjazz/4776904670/ ]defunct Focus[/url] which was ace as I also have a towbar rack. Although I'd hate to get something that ugly on the Skoda, according to the interwebs it does seem that you can get a removable towbar for the Octavia. However, it's all a bit confusing, as although it's theoretically quite easy, there does seem to be some conflicting info on the subject.

[list][*]Has anyone here ever fitted one to a vRS? How successful was it?[/*]

[*]Secondly, anyone know why there doesn't seem to be anything available specifically for a vRS older than an '04 plate (mine's an '03) - was there a major change to the sub-frame on the vRS at the end of '03 which makes this a problem?[/*] [/list]

Any info appreciated.

Cheers!

Hmm mine is a Mk1 with a 1.8T petrol engine but it is an 04 and I do have a tow bar fitted. I was not aware it was any different to the earlier ones.
