Keep bumping your car?
Do you struggle to park it?
Cant afford retro fit parking sensors?
If yes to any of the above then ive got the modification for you.
Note. Its not a skinny standard Panda tyre. Can be colour coded to suit

Jesus! they would have done more damage attaching that
to the bumper in the first place
And who said Panda's were hard to park anyways?
Wonder if there's one round the front too? - now that would be an extra bonus pic Tooty

SO that's just part of a big tyre that's been painted a similar colour to the car? I see
Normal people put an old tyre at the back of the garage to reverse into, perhaps the lock's busted and someone keeps stealing it. Or something equally as daft.

It would be kinda fun, and difficult to resist, giving that panda a bit of a nudge at traffic lights

Not sure I'd want to nudge that, there's a towing hook under there!
Mind you what you can tow with one of those I'm not sure.

It's starting to make 'sense' then! the tyre is there either to stop the trailer bashing into the car (why would it do that?) or it it there to warn/protect others that there's a tow-bar sticking out??
Or, did he fit a tow bar just to hold the tyre up?
mmmm, so many questions.......
I'd love to see what he tow's with the awsome Panda

Yep there is a tow bar under it and what i could make out it was held up by two pieces of string.
Maybe he is a courteous driver and didnt want to damage other peoples cars? or maybe part tyres are cheaper than tow ball covers. What ever the case he should not be backing into stuff anyway the bloody rear window is at the back of the car its not like its a saloon is it
