Can't comment on this person, but why not? I used to do all this kind of stuff when CS was still growing. Its called helping others with a commen interest.
Im not going to buy one as i've got a real one, but don't see why there are so many haters on here slating it. Its a god damn bumper for a corsa.
If he can get them made up, why not?
PS. Irmscher fogs are £70 each i think  but theres loads out there for much cheaper.
PSS. Should I bin my "M3" mirrors, because they are not from an M3? Should Donna sell her Stienmetz M3's because they are also not from an M3? Same difference. Those interested will buy.

I would go for it mate. simple fact is...its a nice looking bumper which can not be bought off the shelf anymore. so of course you will sell a few. especially if you can get them a little cheaper. and you can get fog lights off ebay for about £25. If i wasnt selling my corsa then i would have bought one off you.
The only reason people dont want you to do it is because they know lots of people would buy them making them less rare. i think they should look on the bright side and just be happy there will be alot more nice looking corsa b's on the road

Im sorry, but i can't see you selling one.
Fair enough if you're just trying to help people out, but its really not going to happen mate.
Cheap compared to £350 + 120 = £470
Good luck with it, hope you get it sorted.

Fibreglass bumpers are wank, id NEVER buy another again.
Not worth the shite theyre made with!
Cost of bumper: £150
Paint: £100
Trying to get the fucker to fit: £hassle
Repair and respray every 4months because its cracked: £100
Too much trouble mate, just buy a genuine one, paint it once and fit it in 20mins!

Exactly, and i OWN a real airdam and irmscher rear....
Fibreglass bumpers are mostly bad if they are huge and have a good chance of catching the floor. IF the original mould is good, then it will fit fine, and to prevent cracking, simply don't drive into anything...... Its that easy.....
And for those who hate irmscher, why even bother replying??? GO find something else to do, like pick the peanuts from your poo out the toilet or something? Its just as usefull as replying to this post......

You're comparing apples and oranges really. Some M3 style mirrors aren't really the same as a plagarised fibreglass front bumper.

Not really ed.
Irmscher Airdam bumper copy
M3 Mirror copy?
Different items, exactly the same issue. What if the person who thought of copying M3 mirrors was flamed down like this? Thousands of modified cars would still be using bricks as mirrors...
He/she went staight ahead and done it. Low and behold, there were the haters who flamed them, and the buyers, who bought them.
Ultimatly, the person with the idea, was simply copying another idea....

If the copy is good, and the bumper is popular, then people will buy it.
I believe there is a demand for it, because its a nice looking bumper.
You'll get the people who will pay over the odds for a rare item and feel all good inside, you'll get people who will go for a slighter cheaper copy and not go through the hasle of getting a rare item such as this (however, they may be plagued by other issues)

Exactly, it all depends on the original mould.
Take Scuttle Panel covers... The original mould from Dave (original PVD / PCD owner) was good. It fitted. PEte then took over, stole a mould, and never ever got it to fit right. They had to remove them from the catalogue.
Dave took his mould, continue to sell them. The still fitted fine.
Its ALL about the original mould. If thats good, the kit will be. If its bad, you will have nothing but nightmares with it.

I love my airdam, i really do, i love the shape (anyone note its a very similar shape to an E46 M3 bumper, wonder if BMW copied Irmscher :rollyeyes: ), but at the end of the day, its a bumper for a vauxhal corsa.
Life goes on.............. Theres more out there than just bumpers.....
