Touran Towing

[kentzer]

Morning All!

I need to be able to tow a trailer, but don't really want to have an ugly tow bar on the back when I'm not using it. So, I've had a look at the various demountable hitches. However, they all say that they need a "minimal" bumper cut.
Which one needs the smallest / most hidden cut in the bumper? I used to have a "brink" one on a passat I had a couple of years ago, but it wasn't really very easy to fit / detach. I've had a look at Westfalia, Witter and Bosal so far...

Any ideas / recommendations?

Oh yes - somewhere that'll fit it near Sheffield? Towsure don't do any of the ones I'm interested in and I think BDS Trailers only do Witter ones.

Cheers

Ben

I`ve just fitted a witter bar to mine .... it`s not a demountable one and i only had to make a cut out about 5cm square in the middle at the bottom of the bumper .... was very impressed with the ease of fitment ...

As regards fitting in Sheffield... can`t help much there as i`m a southern softie
