Default v70 classsic estate and 850 saloon

hi all just got a v70 1997 estate and trying to fit the towbar off my saloon to it with the bumper off it fits great but you cant then fit the bumper back on with the bummper in place the neck angle is to great to fit with out major cutting.

AFAIK the estate tow bar will fit the saloon, but the saloon bar won't fit the estate as the 'neck' is too short.

no that is not correct, the part numbers for both saloon and estate are the same, it does seem though that the bumper may need cutting on the estate.
a spacer also may help clearance
