The towbar is kinda cool... But the wheels do look very nice.

Cheers
The tow bar is activated by a button and it automatically swivels into place and then back totally out of sight when you press it again. It was worth the money just to see it doing that |

Yeah.. my spend 5 minutes with a wire brush then smack it with a hammer to make it fit, and the same to take it off 'detachable' isn't quite as cool

I've never towed anything in my life up to now.
But couldn't you leave it attached to the caravan/trailer, undo it's bolt and drive off. Detaching it simply and quickly. Then unhitch the bit from the van? |

I'd read that towing a caravan without them ends up splattering the van and the tow hitch with stones. Plus they do keep a ton of crap off the sides car.
Not that I'm 4nal or anything but I even asked Audi not to wash my car after doing the wheels and tow bar, in case they scratched it. |

A8 is the ultimate towing vehicle

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962 Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs. Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons. Future Plans: Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered. Planned Mods: Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

Tow bar is really cool, I'm just not sure about the wheel size.
They look very tiny and 19s is much better choice as it looks way better and still offers great comfort. This is just my opinion Other than that it's a lovely car mate
