How much do you want to spend & what would  you like to see (or not) at the back of your car?
this is an OE make but a 2 bolt flange type

This is a pattern type that fits underneath the car rather than in the boot like the one above.

An OE detachable:- but becarefull whether it's PREface lift or later facelift car as the bumpers are different depth. A forum member fitted an early towbar to his face lift car and there was very limited room between the ball & the rear bumber when fitted.

And this is what's fitted to mine:- Totally invisable when detached - unlike the detachable above.  :y
