Default Anyone got a Thule tow bar?

Need to fit a detachable tow bar to my 2013 R Design XC60 and the Thule version seems to be best value.
I'm planning on a DIY fitment so wondered if anyone else had either fitted one or had one installed.
Will the official Volvo cover plate fit the Thule socket?

I have fitted several Thule bars and the quality is great. My genuine Volvo bar on my V70 is made by Thule as we'll.

Sorry but I can't answer if the cover will fit though.

Thanks, I'd really appreciate your confirmation (or otherwise).
According to Thule customer services, their swan neck detachable bar won't fit the XC60 R Design model but there is a Thule info video on YouTube demonstrating the bar being inserted and removed - on an XC60 R Design!
Confusing or what...
