If you mean front towing eyes they are different.
S1 type bolts on underneath the ali plates and the 16i tow eye is part of one of the ARB clamps.
Personally I would take the splitter off and tie a rope on to the ARB if I had to. far from ideal but should do.

Not sure if the 16i clamp will fit a S1 roll bar, they come in 2 sizes for a start.
You could always weld a chopped up late ford tow eye onto one of the clamps but its the on there for good.
