If you want the Audi Spoiler with hatch then thats what you have to fit. They dont do the normal S3 spoiler with a hatch. Even the westfalia website states that you have to order the spoiler with hatch if you want to fit the towbar. If you want to try modifying the S3 spoiler to put a hatch in then thats way beyond my capabilities. If I had that sort of skill I would have fitted the towbar myself.
The spoiler with hatch still fits an RHD S3 and is the spoiler (with hatch) used on the LHD models of the S3 in europe if you wanted the Audi detachable towbar fitted by Audi. The Westfalia Towbar (detachable) is an Audi option but not in the UK. I asked the chap at Audi if I had an LHD S3 and I wanted Audi to fit the towbar then he said they would do it..........but they wouldn't touch the RHD S3.
When I went to source the spoiler with hatch. The Audi chap looked at the LHD S3 and the towbar options that were available for it. The spoiler with hatch came up along with the Westfalia detachable towbar. So I ordered the Spoiler and got PF Jones to fit the towbar.
Total cost was £1005.
The spoiler with hatch cost less than £90. I got 10% knocked off of the spoiler because one of the clips was slightly bent and showed a little bit of stressing so I got it for £80.20
£100 to paint it. Audi wanted £140 to paint it so I went to an Audi Approved painter myself and the bloke said he'd do it for £100. He said he'd normally charge £120.
On PF Jones website the cost of the Westfalia Portilo Cycle Carrier (£299), 3rd cycle adaptor (£133.20) and cover bag (£70.80) is £503
I paid PF Jones £825 so the cost of fitting and supplying the Westfalia Towbar and Audi Specific electrics cost £322 if I paid the website full price for the Cycle carrier etc, etc.
It may not be cheap but half of the cost was taken up by the 3 bike Cycle carrier and bag.
Approx £500 for detachable towbar, electrics, new spoiler with hatch (primed) painted and fully fitted isn't too expensive, especially since I wasn't going to attempt to fit it myself.
Tow Equipe in Leeds said they would fit it for £320 plus VAT (£380 inc VAT).
I thought it was a good deal from PF Jones.
