Hi,
Check www.towsure.com . I have had a good few of these bars for various cars over the years. They will have been designed for the car--any re-inforcing needed will be in the kit. Easy to fit too.
Hope this helps,
Greg

All cars built since 1998 must use approved bars which fit to the manufacturers towbar mounting points, so its all really easy.

They suggest some models need a strengthening kit, which they also list.

Cheers
