I have a 2016 Skoda Fabia estate. I would like to fit a tow bar, Looking under the car at the rear , there does not appear to be anywhere i can attach a conventual tow bar to, there just seems to be a steel plate covering most of the rear underside. Has anybody fitted a tow bar to the above vehicle type. can you buy a original part that the Fabias which have a tow bar as standard?

Thanks in advance

The 'metal plate' you mention is likely the rear crash bar - AFAIK, this is removed and replaced with a different bar for the tow bar to be mounted on.

This involves removing the rear bumper.

On the Fabia estate, that steel plate is usually a protective cover and can be removed when fitting a tow bar. Most aftermarket kits use the factory mounting points behind it. Skoda dealers can also supply OEM-style kits, but they are often more expensive than good quality third-party options.
