On the lower edge of the spare wheel well. Behind your tow bar,
It's really a lashing eye rather then a towing eye

The only safe way to tow anything is with the properly fitted tow bar. The lashing eye isn't designed to tow anything and doesn't have the required strength.

If you have got a towbar fitted, why would you be looking for a towing eye, you can tow with the towbar. Front and rear lashing points are designed for securing the car to a transporter. There is an emergency towing point in the front bumper on the driver's side, just remove the little square in the bumper and screw in the towing eye.
