i bought a second hand one from a neighbour who only carried a small box trailer back and for the skips, household rubbish
its a brink towbar
easily fitted
remove rear lights 3 nuts on each light and drivers side light has a locating pin which sits in a rubber so care should be taken to gently pop it out by pulling with your fingertips gently
bumper screws on top x2 bolts and 2 plastic lugs which you push the centres through with small pointy screwdriver
under wheel arhes think there was three a side
and underneath 6 bolts you can see them all when looking
unclip numberplate light plug from inside
slide bumper off
remove bumper reinforcement towbar now slides in the chassis rails
holes are already drilled so just feel and poke a screwdriver through the undersealant
bolts easy enough
have to take exhaust off rubbers for passenger side 1 bolt easy done
i have a 2003 gt tdi 3 door
anniversary splitter had to cut about 3 inches x 4 inches approx but its on the underneath side so wasnt bothered
hope this helps. electrics im yet to do but ill put these underneath out of sight as not often i ll use them
