Default Towbar picture?

Hi all
I think I'm about to purchase a tow bar for a bike carrier but I'm concerned it will spoil the look of the car.

I have V60 66 plate R-design Lux, Does anyone have similar car that has the detachable towbar fitted? If so would you might posting a photo of the rear bumper showing were they do the cuts an how the electrics hide?

The garage says I won't notice the cuts but I think they will be visible.

Thanks You so much for your time.

I have this fitted to my v60. When removed it isn’t seen at all. The electrics fold up into the bumper. The bumper cut is very small on the flat underside.
