As I said earlier it took me 2 years to find all the parts I needed, and some parts come from Devon some London and the grill & wood irmscher steering wheel from Germany

while on the subject, anyone know if its possible to fit a tow bar and double exit exhaust( one pipe drivers side tother pass side) with the irmscher rear double exit bumper?
ta

I think that the Irmscher Brochure says something about 'not compatible with tow bar' for that bumper.

Anyone still got one?

Yes they are needed the plate is to protect the fuel tank from the twin exhaust when you re-route around the tank and the cross member you can see in the photo is the standard under bumper for the rear of the car but to fit the irmscher rear bumper you need the parts that fit to it which can be see in the photo, as this is to attach and support the lower part of the bumper :y

Just a thought with that tailpipe. What is it made of ? steel or stainless. Is it worth taking to a stainless exhaust shop and see how much they would charge to copy it ?

Could be a nice little earner  :y

Thanks Jim, some pics of where the heat shield attaches would be handy, and any other shots you fancy while your there.

I may well need to get the exhaust altered to clear the tow bar, so a stainless exhaust centre may well be the place to send it.
 ;)

Thanks for input guys, and appologies to the O.P. for hijacking his thread.

not necessarily, Entwood has an Irmscher rear bumper as part of the full kit on his car, and is an avid tower with bar. Although from memory not the swan neck type. However his exhaust has both tail pipes exiting on the pass side, as stock. So not so much of an issue perhaps?

Sorry to be late to this party ..we were away for the weekend.. :)

My bumper had to have a "slot" cut in it to take the tow bar. A great deal of care and measuring was done prior to cutting !!! If needed I can take piccies .. just yell .. :)
