We could ask the same thing of you. Why are you driving an R8 through the broken up streets of Vietnam?

Are you referring to the tow hook which is in the tool kit in the bottom of the luggage compartment? Is yours missing or did you not realise there was one? iirc you need to remove a cap in the front bumper to screw in the tow hook.

At first I thought you were referring to the type of tow hook which would allow the R8 to pull a trailer

Yes, I have the oem one; the one called "front towline anchorage" in the manual...it looks fat and grotesque hehe. And figured if it's going to stick out on my front bumper all the time, I should try to at least find one that's more aesthetically appealing and maybe the added functionality of being able to fold it maybe or even attach my GoPro

I bought one before for my S5 & it was awesome...can't find one for the R8 though...
