Title: Opinions Please
Post by: Elite Pete on 27 March 2008, 14:22:35
I have an Irmscher front bumper fitted to my estate and i'm about to fit an Irmscher rear bumper and tailgate but im not sure if I like it. So what do I do, do I fit the Irmscher bumper or do I get a facelift estate rear bumper and facelift rubbing strips for the rear panels to match the facelift ones fitted to the doors and front wings. Some pics

Lots more bits possible!

From what i can see the irmy rear bumper aint that much different from a facelift bumper........ok you dont have the bit mounted on the tailgate on a facelift estate.....the rear reflectors are in a different place and you dont have the chrome strip.......but shape wise looks very similar.

I think the irmscher rear bumper and tailgate will blend nicely with the facelift bump strips.....so do it.
