Towbar?

Do VW do a hidden towbar for the Mk5 Golf and if so how much and what does it look like?

v2brett:
yes they do a detachable towbar mate, but i cant help you with any pics/ prices etc

jmspear:
yes they do and I've got one fitted to mine. You need a new rear valence, you can get a GTI one with a slot cut for the towbar, you also get a cover which clips on when the towbar is detached, and their is a cutaway in the spare wheel tool holder for the detachable hitch. IIRC the towbar was about £120 think I got mine from witter, the rear valence was about £30 and the cover about a tenner, plus you need a special relay box which was about £15 to connect it all up, I fitted mine myself as you can tell. Will post up some pics tomorrow, looks very neat job :)

Nice one thanks....Will only use it 3/4 times a year so don't want the thing sticking out for the other 361/2 days !
Oddly the last time i had a towbar was on my MK1 Gti and a woman in a MG Metro (Remember them...especially the MG Metro Turbo :smiley:)
Drove into the back of me caused £600 damage to her car......none to mine :smiley:

Would like to see the pics JMSPEAR
