Hi guys, looking to get a towbar mounted bike rack. First step is a tow bar. I have a 2005 blob wrx saloon with prodrive backbox.

Anybody got any pictures or help on how to fit them as there are a couple on eBay that are local.

Mate I have a tow bar if you're interested ? It came with my car , not something ill ever use. Its a 'monoflex' one I think. Kept meaning to advertise it but forget. What they going for on eBay ?

There are two Witter ones on there for £30 atm. Wanna see if they are a simply bolt on design first.

Make sure you get all the bolts and spacers mate as it could cost you more for those than it will the tow bar
You will need a bypass relay for the electrics if its for a cycle carrier you will only need single electrics
If you need the electrical stuff try and find a local guy do not use halfords it will cost you a small fortune
I have never done a subaru one so not sure on the fitting of the bar itself

Ah okay. Thanks Travis. The one thing concerning me is whether I will have to drill any holes in the car or are they already there as I don't really want to do this.

Pretty sure on the forester you use exsisting holes mate but I ain't 100% on that I know you def use the exhaust hanger on the passenger side as it can be a right sod to get the bar on place without removing the exhaust

Check which tow bar it is as they don't all look good and certain ones will mean cutting the rear bumper as well

Think the witter one is just a little bit of a trim off but try the bumper back in place first as sometimes the instructions are wrong lol
