Buying an Aurion - tow bar removal

[RAWG]

Hi All,

I am looking at buying an Aurion Sportivo SX6 and wonder you guys can help me with few questions.

The one i am looking at has a tow bar fitted and I want it removed as I m not gna use it and I dont like it hanging out of the rear bar. Does any of you know whether I can find a cover to cover the hole in the rear bumper if I remove it completely.

And also is there anything else that I should look out for when buying an Aurion with about 130K KMS. ( I ve read to watch out for oil leaks).

Thanks for the help in advance.

Cheers,

I can't answer your question but I may be interested in your bar when you remove it.

Sure will let you know once its done. ^^

AFAIK the ATX and Sportivo variants have the tow bar hole cut out of the bumper. You'll have trouble sourcing something.

What other options do I have if I can't find a cover for it? Vinyl wrap it or get a new sportivo rear lip.. ??

I don't suppose your cars white.

Might be able to swap bars with mine.

Well if i end up buying this it will be black. :S and i think you are in SA so it would be difficult to swap..

maybe there is someone who would be interested in getting a tow bar and has a black sportivo.

You won't be able to vinyl straight over it, the hole's too big. (well you can, but something will pierce it. plus you'll still notice the indent anyway.)

Not sure if the bottom half of the bar can be sourced on it's own but good luck searching! Wreckers?

I guess I ll just vinyl it until i source a sportivo lip or a rear bar from wreckers.

btw guys anything I should look out for other than oil leak and general condition?

Some times gumtree will have wrecking Aurions. Also ebay has been known to have rear Sportivo bars if that helps
