After pulling the tow bar off my VL Im not sure I'd wanna tow much. The tow bar is literally only bolted to the floor of the boot. I removed the tow bar soon after I realised this, although I did leave the reinforcing plate in place as extra protection in case of being re-ended. Again.

Nice lights Aaron, it's stuff like that that makes for a clean car The price sounds about right too, they haven't gone up much in the last 8 years

I spent heaps of cash on little things like that on my VL and I reckon totally worth it It can double the cost of your build though
