Witter are as good as they get.

Whatever you get, make sure it's type approved!  :happy2:

Might be worth asking JPC as I'm sure he used to have a hidden toward on his MK5

I didn't think the ED30 lower rear bumper section could be bought with a removal panel to compliment a removal towbar.

As for towbar, I have a westfalia on a std gti - good piece of kit.

Westfalia is OEM equipment.

The problem you might run into is the bumper.  And as above it won't be type approved so the insurance company might not be too keen.
