VW don't do GTi tow bars, but i saw a white GTi in London with a tow bar. Looked a mess as they cut part of the rear valance away and it didn't look detachable.

Hi

We have a Seadoo Jetski and have the same problem. We cant sell the 4x4 (Mitsubishi Pajero) because we need it to get the jetski in the lake too..... Looked at a few options and they all look terrible involving cutting out rear valances etc :sick:

Not that this helped but I would say no to the tow bar and rather get a different car... Not sell the GTi just find yourself an alternative car. :nerd:

Cheers

Clearly the simplest solution is to move to the lake. Think outside the box!!

I have a Witter detachable tow bar on my GTi - used for transporting my mountain bikes

http://www.robinfisk.fotopic.net/c931294.html

VW do a specific rear valance for the GTi (c.£42.00).  I got mine part painted.

PM me for details.

As for being a heretic -   :tongue:
