question about zze122 corolla hatch towbars

Postby vr4boy » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:26 pm

can anyone tell me if there is a difference between towbars for imports and nz new 1.8 hatch backs, because i have bought a genuine toyota towbar thats for a zze122 hatch of trademe and it dont fit, one of the big reasons is the back exhaust mount that is part of the car is in the eay, i no the import 1.8's have an exhaust that exits on the other side and i'm wondering if this is why it won't fit.

cheers

Yeah, also the towbars Toyota NZ have developed are to suit the NZ new models only. Often the towbars will line up with an import chassis but theres always an exception to the rule like in this case.
