I would route the cables down the drivers side under the plastic sill and then up behind the rear quarter panels to boot area.

Here's the pics

The camera, camera bracket and end plate

Camera in the bracket

The end plate holding the camera in place

And now I understand why it's expensive for these bits of plastic and why I didn't know what chassis the 3W0 part numbers come from

Image

Hence why the part is also listed for the Phaeton too.

Now I'm proud for my car!
And what is the shape of the cutting you're going to do? Square?

Steve, where does the end plate go ?, on the end of the housing to stop the camera popping out ?

As per the third pic, it holds the camera in place in the bracket.

OK, that wasnt to clear on my iphone lol, so i guess you cut a square hole and it just clips in place ?

Correct, I am going to pick-up a scrap bumper or some plastic sheet tomorrow and test fit the camera bracket so I can create a template to minimize risk when cutting a real rocco bumper.

I also think it will look better if the camera bracket is colour coded to the bumper :)

Nice, what was the bumper removal like ?, do you have process pics ?

No pics sorry! The bumper removal involved torx unscrewing and uncliping. Nothing difficult.

No! Not at all. You should start from the mud guards to the middle.
