Default Aftermarket Tow Hook Cross-Compatibility

Local track requires tow hook to pass tech.

I'm looking to get an aftermarket tow hook for some extra bling.

I googled it and couldn't come up with an answer.

What other cars use the same tow hook?

Or do you know of an aftermarket tow hook that fits?

Looking to do something like this:

All I know is that it's reverse-threaded. No idea if that's normal or not.

Reverse threaded tow hook is common on European cars.

It would be helpful to know if they're cross compatible with other makes.

I wouldn't want to leave an exposed tow hook for daily driving on the Jag. It might perpetuate the myth that new Jags break down a lot!!

I know for a fact that the XF tow hook fits perfectly, and I'm guessing it's identical to the OEM F-Type hook (that I never got with my car). Check Fleabay for XF tow hooks going cheap.

I suspect the OP is looking for a flashy anodized bumper ornament rather than a plain and merely functional OEM hook.

I got the XF hooks from ebay for ~$50 shipped.

We'll plastidip red for good times.
