Good tow bar installer in or near Dublin?

Hi all,

I ordered a Westfalia tow bar and electrics package from PF Jones in the UK (it came in the biggest box I've ever received in the post!), and I was looking for somewhere to install it, ideally in or near Dublin.
It's going on my Alfa 159 TI, and it requires a bumper cut out, as well as splicing into the rear light loom, so I don't want to hand something so beautiful to a butcher who'll ruin it. I have to look at the back of my car all day every day out the office window

I had it serviced in TI Autos recently and they suggest I go to dedicated tow-bar crowd rather than a mechanic, even an Alfa one.
Anyone got one they'd recommend?

Although they may prefer to have supplied the bar themselves. If the towbar you ordered was to original specification, there should be no need to cut the bumper.

Not necessarily. Newer cars seem to have the rear bumper extending further inwards then older ones. Insignia for example and new Mondeo's. Must be something to do with airflow.

Thanks lads, I emailed Malcolms, Mr. Bullbar and Indespension there yesterday, hopefully one of them will come back with a reasonable price.
