I bought the last new one a few years ago... It cost nearly a grand.

Entirely up to you  ;)

If I was selling or buying I would go around the 275+ mark for a good second hand Irmy Front Bumper, I think you need at least the Irmy side skirts as well to match the Bumper, doesn't look right on its own.

Just watch out for the Eastern Euro ones for sale, some are cheap fake resin copies.

If it's an acceptable fake, i.e. it fits and looks like the real thing, then it might be the only way to go if you really want one.

Obviously any styling is an individual preference, but a standard FL Elite seems to suffer from non-descript, bland looks in a fair few peoples eyes.

I think that's why you always saw more Irmscher'd FL than Irmcher'd PFL

It was indeed a bit nondescript, but the answer was never going to be that hideous monstrosity bolted on the front.
Nondescript beats pig ugly any day in my book.  :)

Personally, I like the MV6/Sport bumper out of all choices available for the FL. It's not too much in your face in a 'chavvy' way and not bland like the standard bumper. I do like the Irmcher rear bumper though and if one came up that ticked all the boxes i'd go for it.

But on the right car that's clean with all the irmy kit and wheels, they do look good. But they just look a little over the top for me personally for my own car, I do like to look at others with them on though. Also, like the Steinmetz FL Omega kit.

Owning an X351 XJ, I've learnt to live with pig ugly.  If you can't see it from the drivers seat....

Only I reverse arse first into parking spaces, whereas a Scorpio driver has to go in forwards. Just to ensure you don't catch a glance of the ugly end ;D

I'm sure its designer had a soft spot. Clearly deranged, mind ;D
