Hi everybody

This is my first post so please excuse me if I ask silly questions.

I've recently bought a 2008 mk3 v70 d5 and I'm looking to get a genuine Volvo tow bar. The car has had a tow bar in the past which the dealer removed back in 2014 aghhh.

Hopefully if I can get a decent used Volvo one I'm hoping it will bolt straight on so my questions are.

Does the bumper need to be removed if the holes and bumper cut out are already there.

I've seen a used one online but the electrics look to have been chopped up so I'm writing those off. Could I fit the tow bar first and easily fit the electrics at a later date without having to remove the bumper if it does need to come off?

If you can think of anything I might have missed or have any suggestions for places to look for what I need I would love to hear from you as I've never had any dealings with tow bars full stop.

Thanks
