Can the trailer hitch kit be removed?

Hey all,
I just ordered gemballa bodykit for my car and in my stupidity forgot to tell them I have a trailer hitch kit at the back. Since I never use them, is it easy to take them out? I don't think I want to cut a hole in the rear spoiler. What should I do?

It will be a little bit expensive if you ask the dealer to do it for you because their labor fee is like 100+bucks / hour, If you have more time, get someone else to do it for you, maybe even ask your bodyshop to do it together when they are installing the kit

Lets have a Cayenne shoot soon!

iirc There is more to hitch addition then just bolting it on. I think the inner bumper piece is part of the hitch, and you would need the non hitch piece.

By the way the weight difference between the stock alloy and the toe hitch is very large.

You can feel the weight.

Thanks for telling me that Mike I certainly have no idea whatsoever. If my bodyshop recommends me getting one I'll message you ASAP.
