Obvious question would be, do you plan to use the car for towing? I have a caravan and so have a towbar, but it is a detachable one so nothing shows when the swan neck is removed. I agree with the above comments, if you are thinking of fitting it just because you have it then I wouldn't bother. There is an advantage of a flange type towbar and that is that should anyone go into the back of you at a slow speed it buggers their car and in most cases not yours! But you might find a flange type would partially block your number plate and that is a legal issue. PS It would definately ruin the looks.
