I had an Ings+1 bumper on my last 15 for a while and it was most certainly fiberglass!

i'm the same, i do ike the aero bar, but i prefer my non aero with the greddy lip. the greddy gracer lip was polyeurethane but i wasnt expecting that to be honest and was pleasantly surprised. i've never heard of any other aftermarket bits that werent fibreglass......

There was a company in the USA that made some kind of rubbery/flexible aero front bumper IIMC. Had a vid of them dropping them from hight and stuff.

They were Duraflex. Looked great in the vids but apparently they were just as bad as normal FG in the real world.

I've got best of both worlds lol... my top half of front bumper is original Nissan polyeuro which is strong and never cracks then from above the vents and below is Works9 copy fibreglass which has already been abliterated within 1.5 weeks of getting the whole bumper custom finished grrrr :wack:

It's been repaired so still the same - I can actually comment on the differences over time as I get two completely different materials within one bumper haha ;)
