I do have an option for but the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH69ZR is designed for GTI models. It may also fit the TDI but we don't have confirmation of this at this time. That said, we do have a similar option for you in the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7309 which is similar in that it has a hidden design and is a confirmed fit for TDI models. It's also much more cost effective and will work equally great for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks/cargo carriers or towing.

I have attached an install photo of the EcoHitch for you below as well.
