Default I need a tow!

Hi there
I'm completely new to this site and I've tried searching for the answer to my question in the forums but can't seem to find it, so I appologise in advance if it has been covered many times before ...

I need to tow the my 350Z (2003 Japanese - UK import model) out of the snow that has yet to clear in the non-sunny parts of South Wales

I've just been offered a tow, so can anyone please tell me where to find the front tow bar/plate/hook etc as nothing seems obvious

Thanks
E

It should be in your trunk by the jack.

Your friendly Owners Manual will tell you everything you need to know.

In case the manual is missing, there's a removable piece of plastic in the center of the grill. The tow ring from the trunk ^^ is screwed into a receptacle behind the removable piece.

Front tow hook:
The factory tow hook will be stored in the rear hatch area of the Z, under the carpet on the right rear inside area.

it looks like this:


From there, look under the front center of the bumper for what Winchman describes.

The rear tow hook location:
Is a permanently mounted steel loop under the car at the left rear.
You have to lay down and look up to see it best.



like dave said, best to review your manual.

There is a factory hook in the rear as well. The US versions is behind the rear bumper on the driver's side.
