I have attached a couple of pictures of it. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't think any Volvo towbars are factory fitted, my understanding is that when ordered on a new SPA model they are fitted by the supplying dealer on PDI.

My V90 was certainly dealer-fitted and the cut out aperture is all underneath the bumper, no cuts are visible from behind, exactly as Clan has shown.

I've been told by the supplying dealer and another that the towbar on my V90 was factory fitted - apparently it's quite unusual as most are dealer-fit. I'll check when I remember, but can't say I've spotted any sort of a cut-out on mine.

I paid extra for that but at the end you cannot be 100% sure whether is factory or dealer fitted.

Current SPA models with Tow bars on original factory order "all" now have the Tow bar fitted on the Production Line, dealers only fit to non-new cars nowadays.

The dealer can as it shows up in the build spec on their system, albeit I appreciate that the layman doesn't have access to this.
