Hey, Barry! Life is looking great. Quick question if you don't mind! How much is the rear towbar set up? I'm looking to get one for a mountain bike rack to go on.

Cheers, Alex :mrgreen:

Westfalia is VW oe
Cheapest place plus £20 for electrics. Very easy job to fit.
You can also buy from VW the foam insert to go behind the drivers seat under the floor to hold the mount and keys etc when not in use.

Not cheap then, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for the info, bud.

Front end off for new grill and lower bits and headlamp tinting

Finished front, just need a better style of no plate

Wheels are now on but the light beat me.
Firstly - Great Caddy :)
Just checking, does the front bumper need removed to fit the lower grill?
Or if not, can I just remove the foglight grills (by pulling them straight off)? Then remove the lower centre grill (again pull straight off) and replace?
...Or what's the process for lower grills removal (without breaking/scraping anything)?

Cheers mate

The lowers can be removed with the bumper on but I found the clips were mega tight, I would recommend removing the bumper it only takes 5 mins tops

Thanks for getting back to me y8cel- I would probably have wrecked the tabs on mine! Now I'll have to source an Edition 30 grill too!

Have you got a part number for the Edition 30 grill? Where is the best place to buy ?

Do you have any pics off the rear with tow bar un bolted?

Did you fit it yourself? Need any bumper cuts? Sorry for all the questions as I have called a good few local fitters and the best I have so for is £460 inc the tow bar
