It will fit but you need to check the length of the neck, the facelift bumpers come out further than the pre and mini.

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

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!   ::)  :y
