Sorry Chris i didn't mean you to think you'd over paid for this, it is a genuine one after all. It's my way of thinking is all.

But thinking about what i've just typed and your previous post if you’ve had to cut the bumper skirt it’s not a genuine one, as these are swan necked enough to miss the bumper. Also they don’t have bolts holding the bar to the bracket (cross member) and i think the electrics are sprun loaded so disappear when not in use.

Here’s a photo of a genuine type


Here is a pic of the non genuine towbar couldn't find a proper pic of the full assembly


this is my 8 showing her bum when i fitted my GDW bar, you can just make out where the towbar bolts between the brackets on the crossmember
