Golf mk3 rear bumper question

[mck684]

hi all,

i have a 93 k vr6 3 dr in black  i havent had it long. when i bought it it had a towbar fitted  (this was a factory fit from a vw dealer its all in the service history). i hate the look of the towbar and want to remove it. however, the guys at vw have actually cut a hole through the black plastic 'skirt' on the bottom of the bumper to poke it through.

is the black plastic 'skirt' or piece of trim at the very bottom of the rear bumper actually part of the the bumper? or is it separate. i had a look but couldn't really see this very well. also does anyone have any advice on removing tow bars as this one appears to have electric supply to it.

thanks.

Its a part of the bumper mate, would need a new bumper for that. Im pretty sure you cant seperate it, or at least i looked at a spare bumper i have, and i cant!

As above it is part of the bumper.
