Fitting a winch to a Touareg (2007-2010) does not have to mean changing how the car looks — with this plate a winch rated up to 12,000 lbs fits entirely behind the factory bumper. The only modification is a fairlead opening cut in the lower grille, and the factory bumper beam stays where it is.

The plate bolts to the vehicle's chassis rails. It is made from 6 mm structural steel, shot-blasted and powder coated in a two-layer textured finish. A cut-out under the winch drum makes it easier to clear dirt off the rope after a day in the mud.

Specification:

• for winches rated up to 12,000 lbs
• 6 mm structural steel
• two-layer textured powder coating
• bolts to the chassis rails — the bumper beam stays on the car
• cut-out under the drum for easier rope cleaning
• weight approx. 14.3 kg

Important: a fairlead opening has to be cut in the lower bumper grille. This product has no type approval.
