Towing arms missing on my new to me 2008 Cabrio

Hello,

Newbie 2008 Cabrio owner here. Planning on towing it in back of my RV, however although there is a base plate with two holes in the front of my Smart, the towing arms and towing frame are missing. I have no idea what to purchase because I don't know what type of plate was installed. All I know is that there are two (non-threaded) holes in my Smart. What arms and A-frame will work?

I am a new Smart owner too. Purchased a 2008 451 with 25,000 miles on it here in San Diego.
Mine had the Blue Ox Base Plate and Alpha Towbar. I just took it all off yesterday as I won't be towing it anywhere.

I did notice that while uninstalling the Baseplate it was mounted by 2 large bolts on each side just behind the metal bumper crash bar (where the airbag sensors are mounted on the back of).

Not sure if that helps but enjoy your Smart. If you have any friends that want a Blue Ox set-up for $750, lmk!
