Excellent idea! Just ordered one for the Jetta, now to find a spot on the truck for it........
Behind the right-hand side of this grill, my 2003 Golf has a bracket that looks like it's meant to carry *something*---maybe an electric plug. Any idea what it's for? It might be for a plug, because it lines up with the grill at a point that looks like it might also be for a plug.fitzski said:

I don't think there is enough depth between the bumper skin and the bumper rebar (behind the styrofoam) for the Marinco plug to fit.Rick Blalock said:Does anyone know if there are any sensors behind the bumper just to the driver's side of the front license plate? I would rather mount the plug outlet to the bumper as it is more solid than the lower grill. Since the outlet looks clean, it won't make the car look bad by having it there either. I know there is white styrofoam behind the bumper but that should be ok to bore a hole through right?
Thanks!
Well, its a good thing I read that AFTER I had gone ahead and bored a hole in my bumper.... because it actually had JUST enough room to fit in there in front of the rebar!!!! Had I read that before I did it, I would have chickened out and not done it hahaha. I'll go snap some pics!fitzski said:I don't think there is enough depth between the bumper skin and the bumper rebar (behind the styrofoam) for the Marinco plug to fit.
Good stuff Rick! Well done, and I look fwd to seeing some pics. Sorry for (almost) misleading you! I was just going from memory, and figured it would be a little too tight.Rick Blalock said:Well, its a good thing I read that AFTER I had gone ahead and bored a hole in my bumper.... because it actually just JUST enough room to fit in there in front of the rebar!!!!
