Hi MiniMark,

Thats the same kit that i bought, just waiting to get the lower spoiler back from the paint shop before i try fitting. How'd it go for you? did it take long? I was budgeting about five to five and a half hours in total.

richard@thebrae made a useful suggestion, whilst you have the rear bumper off you should try and fit reversing sensors - saves on another removal later! I've ordered mine, picking them up tomorrow.

Let me know how you get on with the wiring.

It didn't take too long to fit a messy job though going to get the garage next door to work to wire it up for around £50 it seams like the best option as I don't want to mess the electric up. Really nice set up just trying to find the tool box to hold the tow ball now

Hi Mark, the toolbox with the towbar stowage is part No. BP0012109E and cost£10.70 inc VAT in 03/2010 from the dealer, BUT, it is for a Full Size wheel ONLY.
I have a space saver and it does not fit (I have standard 16" wheels on my Golf Mkv tdi Match) and I think the space saver is 15" Two pics, 1)in large space saver from Ben's write up and 2) my small space saver.So beware as there is only one toolbox for detachable towbar stowage

I think mine has the space saver wheel will check later thanks for that. If it is I'll just put the towbar on the shelf in the garage

Hi Im new on here.

I have just fitted a tow bar and electrics but I cannot find the fog light feed. I'm looking under the RH side parcel shelf support. I thought it was purple/grey?

Cheers Andy
