Mine is the fixed Ball type Tow bar so no need to cut out the bottom of the bumper but there were marks on the inside of the bumper showing where to cut.
Personally although the bumper is only a plastic skin so does nothing from a safety point of view I remember seeing no end of broken Mondeo bumpers in the past where they had insufficient material at the centre which led to cracking so I think cutting ours out for the removable type might seriously weaken the bumper especially around the lower two fixing holes so I am quite happy with a fixed ball.
What it does not do which surprises me is bleep with the indicators I thought all modern tow bars incorporated an audible sounder.
One possible down side the ball is quite high certainly higher than my Picasso bar leaving my trailer pointing up a bit instead of nicely level not sure I would want to tow a caravan with it like that!
Right all I need now is a car trailer!
