Looks same as the one I fitted to mine - it is missing the spacer (as they normally are) for the long bolts that go through the chassis rails. You must get these and fit correctly.

I used this:

You can purchase from Witter I think, but I didn't get any joy there.

As per the photo, they are for the bolts at the far end of the photo ie the end of the tow bar that's towards the front of the car. They go into the chassis box section so that you're bolting to the boot floor & not trying to crush the chassis leg.

Just 1 of those eBay listing, you will then cut the 2 lengths you need from that. You can download the witter instruction with details  :y

Ok. Tow bar received. Looking at the witter instruction that was linked above, it seems to be missing the Short Cross Bar. Part "A".

Ask the seller?

Or try Witter, some report they will send parts.
