You may get some info from P F Jones about this. They seem to be able to supply many towbar sets. Phone and ask, worth a try.

I had one fitted 18 months ago when my deployable one failed. Peter Bowman in Bury did an excellent job 2 days before I set off on holiday.

Hi, do you have to remove bumper middle section to use towbar or you can cut out a hole inside. |

Mine had a deployable one, and the detachable one fits under the ‘flap’ in the centre section without modification. I believe there are different designs of flap though (and they are expensive -£35+++, and VERY fragile), so if you haven’t already got a tow bar, you might have to buy the towbar style flap.

This is with the detachable with the replacement panel. Once fitted, no need to fanny about at all:

From recent experience but with a current shape Q7 I understand that the supply of Westfalia bars isn’t great at the minute due to them moving production facilities this was feedback from both the local Indespension depot and PF Jones. |
