Has anyone installed a front tow hook on an EK?

I have a Datum 1 tow hook sitting in my bedroom and I'm not sure how to fit it, if someone can give me details, or even photo's of what to do that would be great!

I want it to sit like this:

I have heard that I need drill through the bumper support?? :nono:

Is there no way I can fit it to my OEM tow hook?

Sorry I took so long to reply.

Yes you do...not much though. This is how I did mines. I cut a small hole on top of the bumper support in order for me to drill, and to put the screws in to tighten up the tow hook.

Looks good, although would the bumper support bar be able to take the loads if the hook was actually used for towing? I would assume it is only 100% aethetic and as such you need to make sure anyone fits to the OE tow hook?
