I had this same delema. What I used was a Super Beetle tow bar and used the bumper mounts with the help of some 1/8 in sheet iron. Be CAREFUL!!!! this will work but if you don't brace the steering wheel in the strait (12 o'clock) position with a good belt or a good bungie cord then the car could go into a malicefull shimi! This happened to me when I turned left from stopped and my fasty went more right when I went left. Thus the car yanked itself way left then yanked way right etc, etc.... I shook so bad that the bumper mounts were almost torn from the body. I am only giving advice and not gaurunteeing this will work with everyone else. I just tried it and I learned the hard way that you must brace the steering wheel before you tow. Later guys I hope this works for ya.
