Default Need help on tow hook, where can I get one?

I am going on my first track event this Saturday and I just realized that I need to install the tow hook as a requirement. I assume that the front tow hooks screws in somewhere in here:

And the rear right here:

However, when I look in my trunk I see the spare tire tools, jack, and an empty space for the tow hook. How can I get one before this Saturday? Would the dealer stock this part?

Generally you just need to install one in the front. Pop out the front right lower grille.

Default Are you just going for Saturday, or Sunday as well?

I was thinking about coming out there just to watch but don't know which day I would.

Default Any VW or Audi dealer should have them...

Or, if you're not feeling particularly scrupulous, you could go and test drive a VW or Audi...



But that would be wrong.

Default Not 100% mandatory, but a good idea.

If you can't get one, just make sure that you know of one or two tow points on your car that they can tie a strap to in case they need to move your car. Just mention it to Aaron Bitterman and it should be okay. If he does have issue with it, I can let you borrow mine.

I am thinking about heading out on Saturday to watch and hang out. Doubt I will hit the track in my car but will bring my helmet along for some ride alongs.
