Gabbo_21 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi guys, Heard a couple of stories of people fitting their old mk2 towbars on their mk3 focus. So was wondering if I can do the reverse and fit a mk3 on my mk2.5. There is a couple of newish mk3 towbars on sale near me for not a lot so wondered if I could take advantage.

JW1982 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The partnumbers of both original and aftermarket towbars are different for the MK2/MK2.5 towbar and the MK3 towbar. Even if the MK3 towbar does technically fit on a MK2.5 you may not be allowed to install it. I do not know the UK regulations but in other European countries you are only allowed to install parts which are specifically approved for the type of vehicle. Personally I would not take the risk and buy the correct towbar for your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEADS Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Chris I have a tow bar for a mk 2 for sale should be the same as the mk2.5 if you want to make me an offer on it before I list it on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del80 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 New to forum! But by any chance is the tow bar still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Considering the offer was made in May 2014...I'm going to go out on a limb and say no... They are available on ebay (recommend PF Jones) for about £70-£75 (brand new Witter towbar) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
