Yep 7 half turn clips then pull from the bumper using the right angles. It should all come off in 1 piece

Default WK2 - Front recovery hooks ?

Ahh. I removed all the little painful clips in the middle and then realised it probably wasn't necessary afterwards. That makes it easier for next time. Cheers.

Getting car serviced and thought id ask the parts dept and they said they can now fit a front recovery hook to the fronts whereby the base is shorter for pedestrian models. Chrysler have given the part number.

Ckxau008220wkrh only one side. $308.66 ex gst.

Anyone who would pay that price is open to the Nigerian Scam and any other rip off around.

If you want a rated front recovery hook - you have no choice!

Well, you could pay $2400 for the ECB bull bar, but then, are they "rated recovery hooks" on that?

$760 is a lot of money for some tow hooks, but I figure it's better than having to remove that stupid lower section of bumper every time, or worse twisting the frame.
How'd u go with this? I'd be keen to do the same to get two hooks at the front.
