TOWBAR on b5 a4. do you have one?

[imported_Yaseen]

If so did you have to cut the rear bumper? How big was the hole you cut?

- please can you if possible post pics of the bumper hole!!

Many Thanks

i have one, no didnt cut anything too make it fit., it goes under the rear bumper

 

[imported_ZeroK66]

I have one... mine was factory I think??? No cutting by the looks of things, never actually checked though...

 

[fallmonk]

think u will need to buy OEM to go under the bumper !

i have one fitted(its a witter one)and what a poxy job it is to fit as well.In the metal channel bit of the bumper you will see a pressed half circle bit-thats the bit that needs cutting out and the bumper bit(which is black) to match.Then you will have the fun bit to get the boot lid/estate door to close cos it hits the bumper.........................good luck and hope this helps.

Yaseen,
Sounds like he had a Witter towbar fitted. I have one my TDI and that sounds about the size of the whole I had to cut. Pretty small really and you should be able to repair it. Otherwise how about a centre exit exhaust like the Boxster!?!

Dont say the word boxter to me!! Trying to find some boxter calipers cheap- not easy!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Don`t think a centre exhaust would suit the b5, im going for two small round exhausts on each side (done a photoshop and looks good!!)
