I am considering fitting a towbar to my new Octavia Scout. There seems to be lots of contradictory info out there with regards to type of towbar and the need to cut out the rear bumper extension. I don't necessary want a cut out. Is there anyway around it? Also wondering if there is now a type specific towbar for the new Scout as apposed to using the towbar that was used on the order model.

I fitted one to mine myself. If you get the westfalia, no cutting required so long as you get the detatchable. I didnt, but all i had to cut was one small section unnoticeable. In Australia all our Scouts come with towbar prep though.

Thanks very much. I had a quote from local dealer and they wanted in excess of £1000.00 to supply and fit!
