	Looking good mate, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh on Saturday with wheels...you´ll have to take the rear ones back off though so that we can adjust the rear brakes! That towbar thing is quite simple really. In Germany any change to a car has to be noted in the docs. You can´t just add stuff to your car (or van) without the right paperwork. To get the towbar added to your docs it needs to be an approved make and have one of those tags. Edit: We´ll be needing some decent sized drills Saturday night, i´m guessing 10mm, measure the old bolts

Wanted the wheels to be a bit different from the many other beauties out there. I have another set of anodised nuts to sell, 20 of them, accidentally bought.
