Hi guys.
Can anyone confirm if this cutout is for the fold away tow ball? Our vehicle design laws prohibit this type of set up in Australia as we need a fixed position tow bar fitted.
Just wondering if there should be a cover for it or it's just a standard opening?

Cheers

After a quick search on ebay, they are available from a UK seller. About $130 AUD. WOW!
Going to a local dealer to see if they stock them here in Australia.
Thanks again [MENTION=2]VWFan[/MENTION]

Some dealers in the US or UK might be able to ship them overseas.

From where did you order it if you don't mind? There's a seller on ebay selling them for $117.26 shipped to USA. Ridiculous price for a little piece of plastic...I'll fabricate my own when time permits if your seller charges too much.
I hope you didn't pay more than $20, I'll just make a template and cut out a piece of a old Mk4 plastic skid pan and glue it on with RTV. If I ever need to mount a hitch I'll just peel it off. It's not seen anyway.

I paid too much.
It didn't fit all that well either. It covered the hole, but.....yep. Make your own.
