The vrs ullmost disguises those ugly split headlight. Didn't read anything about virtual cockpit. Is it not an option? Would be a shame to fall behind VW in tech again now there finally on the same plane.

I dont have the genuine. I have the westfalia and it's a pain to put a chain on. The slot is high and directly above the release mech for the Towbar. It's also runs horizontal not vertical. And the cut out in the bumper is not long enough. I have a short piece of chain I attach first then the hitch. Then the trailer chains to my short piece. I may make the hole larger at some stage.

Come to think of it I didn't see a attachment point when I looked at the genuine one. Would be a big screw up from Skoda AUS if it dosnt. It may not be a requirement in Europe and they mostly just have bike racks.

Edit: just found this pic.

Does it have this loop?

Seems pretty stupid, Australian compliance laws are usually overly harsh - can't see them missing that one
Do you have a pic of yours?
