RS500 Bumper
I've been considering purchasing a RS500 bumper for some time, prices seem to have been very strong for a while now and don't look to be dropping.
People may have seen the damaged bumper on eBay, well at £1000 with a genuine splitter I thought was worth a punt as the splitter alone must be worth £600/£700 on the right day.
Collected it today and turns out it was so much better than the photos looked. So much so that 1 hour with a heat gun and I would say it's 95% there.
Chuffed is an understatement. Funny how a £1000 bumper somehow feels like a bargain!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Genuine RS500 bumpers are very few and far between, if you've picked up a genuine factory one it will be stamped with ford logos on the back, Brooklyn ones are more common and were commissioned by ford but won't have logos on, few differences too but you wouldn't tell when fitted, although not factory they are still fetching similar money and most people would have no idea, sounds like although the price is rediculous you got a good deal anyway.

Yes they were commissioned by ford, had a little more flex like you say.
