had a bit of a problem fitting it :/ seeing as i have no tow hook at the front haha.
had to drill a hole through the grill at the back and cable tie it on.
if anyone has any ideas how to sort it let me know haha it is far too long looks like a floppy tongue haha

Get some lower profile tyres :-D. And a small thin layer of vasoline will help them stay clean and in good shape :-).
