How much do these fl Irmscher front bumpers go for ? Or maybe an after-market item that looks similar :-\ Anyone fitted something similar or know where to buy such items :-\

About £400 and after market copies are generally shit, and made from the wrong material ::)

Have recently brought 2 Irmy spoilers at a total cost of around £420,I couldn't say how much they cost to refurb as they were both incorporated into resprays on to two of my cars. As to the other lip spoiler I also have one fitted to another car and it is what it is and it's not ever going be any thing other than a lip spoiler. Although it will do for a while, I will be back in the market soon for the final Irmy spoiler,but at the moment I'm smarting a bit after having all three cars resprayed/ plus the obligatory wheel arch replacements etc. So you may well get lucky but I would budget at least £300 and up and also factor in another £150 for any repairs and a repaint (I've already cracked one)in less than 4 months) ::) so if you're looking for one....patience will pay off,but it's the long game, just got to watch and wait I'm afraid :(

No, there just add on lip spoilers to the existing bumper, the FL Irmy bumpers are as you say in your tittle 'Irmscher front bumper'.
They tend to also need the rear bumper and side sills as well to set the whole kit off and to look right. ;)

Was'nt there a member on here recently who was going to start turning out facsimile Irmscher body kits??

Problem is, if you intend on knocking them out in bulk, unless you have permission from Irmy, or there heavily modified to look different, you could run the risk of copyright infringement.

Just answered my own question,it was Swordfish (must keep up) ::)I did look at the posts but there weren't any pictures other than sill end caps. Has any one bought a kit? Sorry Chris you must type quicker than me.
-
That seems like a valid point,but then again,I presume that Irmscher must have ceased production of the kits some time ago as interest in them has now come to the point that it would'nt be viable to produce them any more.I guess that they would still be protective of their designs though :-\

I haven't sold mine, merely withdrew them from sale :y
