What is a bumper cutout?
Not every car offers enough room for the installation of a towbar. In order to create additional room, it is necessary to make changes to your bumper. This is achieved by cutting away a piece of the bumper. This could be a notch in the bottom or the middle of your bumper. Brink applies strict standards when it comes to the visibility of a bumper cutout. In order to be able to install a Brink towbar, the bumper cutout should not be visible if you are at a distance of three metres from your vehicle. From that distance, a sighting line at a height of 1.85m applies.
Whether a towbar requires a bumper cutout is listed in the product description when selecting the products.
