Is it common that the tow hook mount prevents an FG rear bumper from sitting flush on the driver’s side?
I fitted mine today and it’s basically rocking on the mount, so either the top of the bumper is where it should be or the bottom is, but not both. Only thing I think to fix it is remove the tow hook mount (or chop part of it off), or cut a hole in the rear bumper and get a tow hook to make the hole make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I think (from memory) the thread is M10, which many modern aftermarket tow hook options don't fit. The factory tow hook is fine, but struck me as a little narrow for quick, track day extractions - so I welded one up, from an M10 bolt and a fencing loop sourced from the local hardware store:
