Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521225-1 will fit your 2000 VW Beetle but you will have to remove the fog lights.
For tow bars, I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 which has the convenient Autowlok locking mechanism and quick disconnects for effortless, one-person mounting and removal. And it is made to work with the recommended base plate.
Another option is the RoadMaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 which features the hassle-free Freedom Latch which lets you quickly and easily release your towed vehicle even if it is at a hard angle or out of level. And it is made to work with the recommended base plate.
I have included videos of each tow bar that offer even more information.
I also recommend the Magnetic Towing Light Kit, 20 foot Long Cord # RM-2120. Lights are needed for safety and because state and local laws require them.
