I think you'll find that refitting that bumper protection shield is impossible and as stated in the guide the tow bar is doing the same job anyway. The fitting guide that came with the tow bar said to do it like that.
Regarding the electrics, the kit that comes with it will not have the stability control, my caravan doesn't have it anyway, nor will it have the ability to disable to rear parking sensors, but I can do that with a press of a button on the dash. I am quite happy to press that button to save myself several hundreds of pounds by not going the volvo route.
