Second Hand Fiat 500C Towbar

The Fiat 500C was not type-approved for towing in any of its variants sold in the UK, and Fiat did not offer a factory towbar for the 500C at any point during its production run. This is a small city car with a unibody structure not rated for towing loads, so a genuine OEM towbar for this model does not exist and you will not find one at a breaker. If you need towing capability, you may need to consider a different vehicle entirely.

A small number of aftermarket suppliers have produced non-type-approved towbars for the Fiat 500 and 500C, but these are not factory fitments and the 500C has no official tow rating from Fiat. Findapart connects you with breakers selling genuine used parts removed from vehicles, so you are very unlikely to find a 500C towbar through this marketplace since it was never standard equipment. If you have seen an aftermarket unit listed elsewhere, you should verify its approval status and whether it is legal for use on UK roads before purchasing.

No - Fiat never offered a factory-fit or dealer-fit towbar for the 500C through any trim level, including Pop, Lounge, or the later Icon and Dolcevita grades, because the car carries no official towing capacity. This applies across the entire production period of the 500C from 2009 onwards regardless of engine choice. If you need a towing solution, the 500C is not a suitable base vehicle.

Because neither the standard Fiat 500 hatchback nor the 500C soft-top convertible was given a tow rating by Fiat, factory towbars do not exist for either body style. There is no genuine used part to source from a breaker for either variant, so the question of cross-fitment between the two body styles does not arise in practice. If you have a specific non-standard fitment in mind, speak directly with a breaker who can advise based on what they have physically inspected.

If you need to attach a bike carrier or light luggage carrier to your 500C, some owners use boot-mounted or roof-mounted carriers that require no towbar at all. Alternatively, if you searched for a towbar because you need to transport something, it may be worth looking at what your actual requirement is - a breaker can sometimes advise on practical accessories that have been removed from other vehicles. For genuine towing you would need a different, tow-rated vehicle.
