about 300 at indespension for one of them. Get the bar and vehicle specific wiring kit and do it yourself. Theyr easy and not expensive off ebay.
Try towequip.

Thanks Dan
Do the DIY kits come with a template for any drilling?
Do you actually need to drill any holes these days or is a bolt on affair...?

I got my 2007 Passat fitted with standard towbar for £326, the car has cambus wiring so needs a special box to get the wiring to work.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Easy enough to DIY, comes with instructions, usually the worst thing you need to do is drop the bumper but that depends on the car, have a look on Tow
Sure web site I think they have all of the instructions on there so look before you buy.

Could try Towsure down in Southampton, they have fitted towbars to my last few cars and tend to be a good bit cheaper than Indespension

Go down the scrappy and find one, then you can take it off, see how its fitted, and pay £40.
You builds a car so fit the thing yourself!

I doubt youd get a MK6 one from a scrappy just yet.
No holes mate. You take the bumper off, unbolt the crash bar and the tow bar bolts in its place.
Here are the instructions for a later passat.
Here are the bars
I think you have to speak to them for the wiring kit. If you get vehicle specific it will just plug in. All you need to do i think is then run a
feed from the battery.
Get westfalia if you can theyr genuine vw fitted things.

Top replies chaps - cheers!
Already been looking at the Westfalia kit which seems easy enough.
My only hesitation is the fact it's a lease car so it has to go back to standard on return. No holes means that should be simple enough though!
