Looking for specific pic of R-design
 
Hi,

My first post on this forum and I must admit it's one of the most active XC90 communities out on the web.

Have read a lot of posts and how to's on this forum and can't wait to try them out on mine.
I've ordered a XC90 R-design due to arrive early april.

Well on to my question:
Does anyone have a picture of a R-design spec car with the genuine detachable tow bar installed?
I can't figure out whether it will be annoyingly visible in the middle of the magnificant twin 4 tip exhaust.
I saw a Westfalia install which is invisible on the car so I could try to exchange the volvo one with a westfalia one if it's so visible.

Hope someone can help me. Would be greatly appreciated.

its visible and does not look as neat as the westfalia {think I spelt that right) version. Someone did a how to fit on here a while back and it looked real neat. All you need is the wiring harness and it still plug and go.

I had the tow bar man around last weekend to fit a Westfilia detachable tow bar on my 59 plate R design XC90. After a few hours he said he could not fit as the twin exhausts would not go back into place once the bar was fitted. I am still searching and would prefer for it to be invisible once removed. ANy help

Try phoning round a few tow bar companies and asking their advice -
Just by doing a quick "Google" search I found a company ( no affilliation ) advertising a removable "Towbar for Volvo XC90 (Inc R-Design)" :

http://www.towbars-uk.co.uk/product/...nc-r-design%29

The fitting instructions viewable on line don't mention the twin exhaust set up of the R-Design,
but they have a Freephone number so it won't cost anything to ask :-)
