Ok guys: I need to mention that the best tow ring is only bolted to the sheet metal on the bumper mount that is only two thickness's of sheet metal on a 105/115 chasis. I wouldn't want to trust someone in a hurry towing my car out of a sand trap ( happens to others never to me).

I suggest you make a plate with a large hole in it that uses the bolts to the suspension roll bar mounting; or insist that they put the strap on the roll bar inside the car, (not that I've ever needed to use this approach). Otherwise the front sheet metal can be torn and you are still in the sand trap.
