Rick62 Posted 8, January 2016 Report Share Posted 8, January 2016 Question...I take it due to where the exhaust pipe sits in the 265 cup a tow bar for towing a light trailer is out of the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob 240 Posted 9, January 2016 Report Share Posted 9, January 2016 I fitted one to the R26 and had to have the exhaust rerouted a bit . Sure it can be done on a 265 with a bit of ingenuity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob 240 Posted 9, January 2016 Report Share Posted 9, January 2016 Lol - indeed ... The Evo wasn't the best towcar as the low down torque was a bit light on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick62 Posted 10, January 2016 Author Report Share Posted 10, January 2016 Thanks guys. I had a similar problem with my Ralliart Colt. Couldn't get a towbar and someone suggested if I did I may not be insured if an incident happened. I will just buy a cheap tow vehicle like a wide body Camry wagon. Probably cost about the same as modifing a towbar. Still waiting for my car to be delivered. A big jump from a 113 Kws from the colt to 195 kws to the Megane.

SupremeMoFo Posted 11, January 2016 Report Share Posted 11, January 2016 If you were really desperate you could get a diffuser section of the rear bumper from a UK non-RS Megane coupe. Doesn't have central exhaust. Tow car idea would be better, or just hire a ute as required - probably cheaper once you factor in purchase of a car capable of towing, rego etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIRES-Renault_70919_global_en.jpg Needs a bull bar, not sure the purists would want anything other than holden/ford. Might be able to educate them though. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
