Thule removable towbars

Any practical difference between these & the OE items from L/R apart from being about £50 according to ebay?

It is not as easy to get copy keys off the internet for the LR locks as it is for the Thule locks.

I see the Thule one "Includes towbar and car specific wiring kit."

Not bad at that price
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

According to the advert the towbars are identical to the LR towbars but the photo does not back that up. Reading between the lines it seems the LR kit is made by Brink and they are now selling this as Thule/Brink. That should mean the keys are the same as LR.

fakesnake- There are normally quite a few new or nearly new removeable towbars on ebay. I bought a never-used one for about £170.
