There's a chap over the water, that bought all the remaining stock, so they are out there.

Prodrive sold their stock about 11 years ago for peanuts via eBay. I forget what I paid for an estate spoiler, but it was significantly less than the cost of painting it. Anyone in a position to bulk buy the bumpers will have done well.

What sort of money are these bumpers going for now?

Good question well presented...

The towing eye covers are even rarer.

The pity is that all the ones I have seen are wavy between the headlights, a design flaw with not enough stiffness built into the mould at that point. Hardly noticeable on a silver or white car but annoying on dark colours.  I have seen fibreglass replica towing eye covers offered, again in NI, where all Omegas seem to go to die.

Didn't see a single one in Belfast...

Re the bumpers, they were effectively a factory spec part rather than an aftermarket add on, which might raise a question re the authenticity of them...

There was someone on here trying to pass off remoulded fibreglass copies of the Irmscher stuff as genuine
Sure the fit of the Irmscher body kits could be questionable, but they were NEVER fibreglass  obviously being made from the sane materials as the factory parts.

I have the irmscher bumper on and I'm not really a fan if I'm honest.

[Doctor Gollum]

It looks better with 18"s and the side skirts

I do think they are pretty ugly if I'm honest - just my opinion though....

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I agree.

I think the colour can make a big difference as well, black cars don't show the design as much as silver cars, I guess the black grilles highlight the design more on the lighter colour cars.

As Al points out, I think you really need the whole package - Irmscher wheels, lowered Eibach / Steinmetz / Irmscher suspension, Full body kit. Irmscher Exhaust. it then works a lot better.

I have a stock facelift front bumper in Nocturno blue if anyone wants it?
