Expert Reply:

The differences between the Curt hitches # C11260 and # C11354 are pretty subtle, but it is enough that you will want to go with the # C11260. This hitch is designed to fit a 2012 to 2014 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe - Gas (excluding the Turbocharged models) like you have, whereas the # C11354 will fit the Turbocharged models of the same year span, 2013 to 2019 Convertible models, and 2015 to 2019 Coupes.

It's a little hard to see, but the flanges/brackets that attach to the frames are different and this is what changes the fit. I included a picture showing what I mean. Should clear things up a bit.
