Title: Any Mk6 GTi owners out there with a detachable towbar?
Post by: Glandore on 10 February 2022, 12:23

As the topic say, any Mk6 GTi owners out there with a detachable towbar?
Just purchased a 2012 GTi. I'm hoping I can get a detachable towbar for a bikerack. I'm told there needs to be bumper cuts, just wondering if there's any way of minimising this? Or just cutting the diffuser and not damaging the bumper?
Any advice much appreciated, thanks

You use to be able to buy the defuser part from vw with the cutout and blanking plate for the removable dealer fit towbar.

Thanks, will give VW a call, would be the best compromise.

Vw do a replacment rear valance for a car with a towbar. Theres a blanking panel that clips in to cover the hole when the towbar is not in use, fitted. Unless your looking for the difference most owners and people would never know the difference in the rear valances. Iirc the part number of the valance is 5K6 807 521 9B9 or maybe 5K6 807 397 C 9B9
