I know a lad that sold one at ND for Ł650 inc splitter so not all are mega money but finding a bumper is hard enough never mind a cheap one.

Shame they don't remake them i'm sure it would be worth it

He obviously had no idea what it was worth did he ,
This is the only way you find cheap rs500 parts these days ( drop lucky )

Regards remaking them , I tried with the splitters , but gave up as the costs for the moulds was massive and i would have had to do runs of 100 at a time , and we all think there sort after but imagine trying to sell 100 splitters

Plus i worked out i would have to sell 700 to break even ,, no chance of that

I was going to try it and all those who said they would defo want one came up with the worst excuses in the world when i asked for a deposit , lol

Regards prices , I have turned down Ł2500 for my front bumpers many times

It may be worth trying to find out if the original moulds still survive. They must have been serviceable around 1998 last when ford had a batch made. Was it wolf who made the bumpers/bodykits for ford? They may still have the moulds.

Cool. Didn't realise that. Where are the moulds now? Or were they no longer serviceable after the last batch? I work for an injection moulding company, interiors for Honda, we keep all the moulds and surprisingly we still manage to get some decent moulds off old tools that have been stored for long periods, 10+ years.
