I'm interested in fitting a tow bar but reluctant to cut the bumper. There are some great threads on here that hint at self fitting but not much detail. Anyone vouch for a reasonably inexpensive option that won't require me to butcher the bumper?
If you goes for a rigid tow bar there is no need for any cutting, most of them only needs two small notches on the lower flange of the bumper.
It`s a simple jobb to mount the tow bar but you have to remove the rear bumper (easy if you know how) and the bumber beam behind it.
But it`s a hell of a jobb to do the wireing, a lot of panels to remove and you certainly will break some clips and hooks:

You can`t use a universial electrical kit for the plug, you will get some Canbus error
