Towbar and 13 pin electrics

Just got my new FL2 back today with the 13 pin electrics fitted - when I got the car new they fitted two 7 pin plugs rather than a single 13 pin socket as I asked. I note though that there is now an empty hole in the bracket that holds the socket and it looks a bit naff! I am wondering whether they have been lazy and should have fitted a new bracket with just a single slot in it.
Does anyone have a Land Rover detachable towbar with single 13 pine socket? IF so does it have an empty slot?

Two options:
a) Take it back and say it looks naff I want it changing for the single 13 bkt.
b) Have some wheatabix for breky get yourself a 19mm socket ratchet and spanner for the other side and undo the two securing bolts. Undo the three socket retaining screws and hacksaw/angle grind the other half of the bracket off. Paint black and refix Thumbs Up

Option b) looks like this Very Happy
