anyone installed a tow hook yet?
just for fun

i dont think the tow straps that are popular over in the BMW community look correct on these cars - but the red tow hooks on the other hand look mean esp on the w204s.

has anyone tried it on the w205 application?

Don't install a tow hook, unless you have a DTM C63S

This is only my opinion (whatever that's worth), but exposed tow hooks have no place on our cars.

Maybe if MB ever comes out with a Black Series version or if your car is heavily modified to where it looks like it belongs on a track. Other than that, it looks extremely tacky and does not fit the lines of the car at all. It looks like you got your car towed and had no clue how to remove the hook.

Again, only my opinion.
