they are pricy but the quality of them is way better than the 30 quid option. i've had both and would def go irmy everytime.

Things cost 'X' amount. If you want one, you pay for it. If you don't want to pay, you don't get...



...and if all they are is a plastic grill with a bit of aluminium on the top, make your own one...

the facelift grilles are rediculous. I would love one but wouldn't pay that much for a bit of plastic. When I had a mk4 astra, I bought a plain slatted grille of ebay for a tenner and it looked as good as an Irmy one imo.

As said, the Irmscher grill is excellent quality and always a perfect fit.

They look nice for sure, but are they worth it? IMHO not really. However, Irmscher, like any other company will pitch their products at a given price. If people buy them willingly, they will keep the prices. If they don't sell, they find out why and adjust accordingly. If the feedback is that they are too expensive, then there would be some adjustments somewhere along the line to bring the cost down. Ultimately, quality may suffer.

There can be some cracking 2nd hand deals on them though Still looking out for one if it comes up at a reasonable price.

all good points but when and if you buy a insignia would you pay the £250 odd quid ive just seen them go for??? quality maybe but i bet they dont cost much more than £30 to make, dontget me wrong ill prob still buy one but def not a new one, just i used to have a cheap one on my eeeerrrr cough choke volve v40 yes it looked quite aggressive and was funny cos cars would move over i think they thought i was a copper lol, but it done the job however funny thing is iveseen the same type on ebay currently at a tenner and thought na dont like it as evryone will have an irmscher on so will look cheap if at veccy meet lol.....

I have the plain version which I much prefer to the std Vx grill but I think the Opel grill looks great ie linky
