have been hunting around to get an Irmscher kit collection going (not easy) and have come accross this bumper, it comes with grill and fog lights, do you think €450 is too much? and i'm looking for an estate kit am I pushing  s*** up hill with a sharp stick hoping to find these components?, any thoughts appreciated

450 euro = £407+shrapnel

The price is a bit steep but it's a buyers market & I suppose that stuff is worth what someone is willing to pay?
If it ain't broke keep fixing it 'til it is!

true but my wife may just kill me i think she may pull my budget in!! at the moment on the want list is eibach springs with bilstein dampers €530! then 19" royal GT'S second hand if i can manage to get to them first €1050 (including rubber) and i still need to register it for Austrian road use probably another €800 (waiting on paperwork as usual) but the car cost me nought so probably worth it!! :-/

Lmf where doing the air dam for 550 new at one point, but it went back up to 700 odd once that batch had sold. IMO £4-500 is not unusual for irmscher front air dam, they are rare, and always need paint unless your lucky. Estate i rear bumper very very rare I would say  :-/  :'(

I'd say go for it!

I waited 4 years lurking on eBay to find mine. They really are very rare.
Do you have 2 cars? I see that you drive a F/L estate.
The Bumber in the Link is Pre - facelift which is not the one you want if it's for your Estate.
The Hella Foglight for the Pre-facelift Bumper are around especially if you search under Vectra GSI/MondeoST  on places like eBay.

The prefacelift stuff is becoming more and more difficultto find - get it while you can! :y :y

Good luck and looking forward to seeing pics up when you're done!

Agreed, if you really want one can't afford tp miss it, they just don't come up that often.

no just the one car bugger that it's pre face lift will have to have a look at the differences.......the search continues lucky i'm on holiday!!

The Facelift ones are around - although they still remain expensive.
There are some new ones still around too if you're lucky enough to get 'em when they come up for sale.

The facelift bumper is more 'full' and the fog lights are much bigger. Anyone got a picture to show the differences? I personaly think they look better than the P/F ones - but there we go.

I don't think you're missing anything by not having an Irmscher Rear Bumper on your car. I think the face lift on is fine (I put one on my Prefacelift!)

German ebay usually has Irmscher stuff aplenty
