There is nothing behind the bumper as such. I don't think it could be used for spotlights or a bull bar as there is only one plug/hole in the bar. It is on the passenger' side only below the left headlight.

Our Adventra has a thread in there for a piss weak recovery hook.
Maybe Holden got lazy and stopped threading them?

A lot of cars have got hidden threads for ringlet type hooks to allow the car to be shackled down when on a boat in transit. A lot of the time they are not intended as recovery points but as a tie down point type of thing. In saying that, I have no idea where the cross6 is produced and may not of gone anywhere near a boat! I think they are sometimes referred to as "Transit Points".
I worked at the Port of Brisbane for a number of years and this is one of the very few things I learnt!

Why!
Why have a forum at all if we should just ring GMH everytime we have a question?:hmmm:
I mean it has only been 5yrs 8mths since the original question was asked! If you look at the post from 05/03/2006 you will note that GMH was asked and they referred it to a dealer. I asked a service manager at a Holden Dealer the other day and he initially thought it was covering a tow point? When I took off the plug and showed him nothing was behind it he just gave me a blank look and said something like "well the Astra's had one". He asked some other service personnel and no one knew.
I guess it could be a shared bumper with the Adventra without the threaded hole underneath. Though it seems the bumper was different if you look at the photos below. You can see the round "plug" below the passenger side headlight.

It is a recovery point but u had to pay $450 from the dealer to get the threaded eyelet to go in there and there was a recall a few years back to strengthen the bar as it was too weak i have never taken mine off but ill have a look tonight
