Towbar and blue flame on mine.
Not sure, who's tow bar it is, Fit's mainly behind the bumper but with two legs that fit to the box section, easily fitted, didn't need to pull the bumper off.
I don't keep the final piece fitted to the car, it's on two bolts so it lives in the boot and gwet's bolted in on the odd occasion I need it.
The only thing you can't have is the bumper infill section. Towbar was fitted first, twin exit exhaust later.

Check out TowTrust they made mine, and i can unbolt the hitch if required, fitted myself, bit fiddly but ok if you're proficient with spanners
I have a witter towbar that is surplus to requirement but cant remember if its off my cougar or my old mk3 mondildo
If it helps, mine looks like Tony's in the attached, except I don't keep the straight bit seen peeping from under the bumper fixed in place, it's held by two bolts and looks prettier when in the boot.
If it's a genuine Ford one, the goose-neck tow ball is removable and the socket folds away behind the bumper so it really is invisible when not in use.
Mine is a Tow Sure one. It was supplied unfitted by the previous owner, I painted everything with Blue hammerite prior to fitting it.
I thought the bumper would have to come off to fit it but it didn't. It all slotted behind the bumper and used the Ford holes in the rear box sections for mounting, I was impressed with it, easier to fit than others I've fitted in the past.
I mounted the socket on a bracket that sits to the left of the tow hook, it's not that convenient for plugging into but it keeps the r send tidy when the tow hook sin't there, which is most of the time.
