That is the front tow hook, the rear tow hook is much smaller and black rather than silver, and is meant to be removed by the dealership anyway (it's for transportation of the car only). I got the black one and no silver one.
The front tow hook is screwed into a thread near the right hand end of the grille cross piece (ie passenger side on a LHD car). There is a rectangular cover over it about 3 cm by 2.5 cm which just flips off.
Also, it screws in anti-clockwise, opposite of the normal "righty tighty".

Here's the part number to look for: C2P1708
Anyway, I have proven that the F-Type front tow hook is identical to the XF front tow hook, and you can usually find used (or new) XF tow hooks going on Fleabay for cheap.

Yes, DJS is correct. Not sure how I ended up with two, other than the first week I had the car the battery died and it was flatbedded to the dealer using the tow hook (vehicle recovery tool). Maybe tow company brought an extra one? If someone wants one, I'll give one up. Not sure it's worth the shipping charges;maybe a blueberry blaster needs one?

The dealership is supposed to remove it before selling the car but often it is left behind.
