Thanks Robin,
So it may not be a bad idea to buy a TOW sticker from the bay just in case. Well my car isn't a race car but anything to improve safety right!
Don't know where I would fit the front 'TOW' sticker on the front as I don't have your style fog grills R. although the tow eye fitted at the back and front may be enough I imagine...
Now how to fit the rear tow eye......
....I wasn't suggesting the need for a TOW sticker other than for trackdays. But I suppose they would help any emergency crew although breakdown guys don't need to be in quite the same hurry as track marshals etc.
There should be one tow-eye bar supplied in your boot (Mk5 GTI) - They are threaded and screw anti-clockwise into a female fixed point. On the standard OEM Golfs you have to remove the front fog panel to access it and open a small flap on the rear exhaust trim panel.
Mine are all carbonfibre, fixed panels and cut and stickered with the tow-eyes fitted front and back. VW Racing generously gave me a second tow-eye. I don't manage to afford to trackday as often as I'd like nowadays but my car is ready for the next time anyway.
