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?

Nice looking D4. Why those mud flaps?

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.
