lower bumper air intakes

i bought them off awesome-gti.co.uk, prob is, only one fits, the other wont go in because the tow bar bracket is behind it, when i told awesome they said that they fit on all the other golfs, anyone else got them and had any probs?

ive always wondered about these my self??, does the tow bracket come off (ie bolted on etc), ive never looked closely at mine only when i hooked a tow rope on it when it blew up!!!, ill have a look later when mrs gets home from work in it, i think on the turbo models the intercooler is behind the orig vents, so there maynot be tow hook there?? but on mine there is.... you out there toph?? what you got on yours?

i dont think it does unbolt, its just annoying as ive only got one in and a gap on the other side.

There's no towing eye on the turbos, just a threaded hole that you screw a loop bolt into which is stored with the jack/spare wheel.

if yours has a tow eye there it should un screw then!! thanks toph!! (memories of towing the mk4 in full effect now!!) lol

i dont have the towing eye in tho, thats in the boot, its the bracket that the towing eye goes in to that in the way, wondering if my cars been involved in a front end before i bought it, although its hpi clear.

odd. ill see if i can pop into the dealers over the weekend and pull the vents off a 2.0 GTI to see whats behind it, im sure there's no obtrusive bracket on mine..
