Thank you for sharing this. I use my hitch exclusively for a bike rack. I bought a Curt hitch for my B7 S4 Avant, cut off the 1.25" hitch socket that was below the cross bar, welded on a 2" hitch above the cross bar, and cut my valence. Placing it higher like this was essential for me to not scrape driveways, etc. See my pic below.
I just bought a B9 allroad, so I'm wondering if it's possible to do something similar? Specifically, and it's a little hard to tell from your photos, but is there any way to:
1) mount the hitch flush with the cross bar (vs the 1" drop or so?)
2) above the cross bar (is there enough room between the bumper and the cross bar?
I don't know if you could do what you are asking. Based on your photo, I don't think there would be much difference between the height of your hitch and the one on my car. I have never drug the hitch.
