It depends if it was made specifically for a preface lift. If you find the thread withthe OE Bosal detachable for a PRE face lift fitted to a face lift, you'll see that the ball is that close to the rear bumper that it makes it un-usable.

dont no if this helps but the ball is approx 5 and half inches away from the bumper

Aug 2009 at 22:03 Right, 5 & a half inches clearance is ample on a pre-facelift, but with a facelift bumper, the ball would be a lot closer, I suspect someone on here will give you exact dimensions.

Hi, just thought I'd let you know, I've just fitted my OE swan neck towbar off my old '96 pre-facelift Omega Saloon to my 2002 Omega. Granted, the towball is close (47mm) to the number plate, but it works !! On a mates Megane, he has one of those plates behind the towball that stops you banging into the bumbers and it has the same 47mm gap. You'll have to make a special bracket though to hang your electrics on though. Looks neat.
Regards, Ade.

By rights towbars fitted to cars after 98 have to be type approved you know!
