evo3000 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 May well be genuine irmscher but debatable that they are manta B specific imho🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I had those on my first Manta in the eighties. 100% sure they were Irmscher, but I bought them in Germany while I was stationed over there: This is from an Irmscher catalogue that I had from an Opel dealer in Germany: As you can see there were two sizes of those round arches, but later catalogues didn't show that much Manta parts in favor to the Calibra 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Wonder if the front 400 blinker has a ford stamp? Wonder if irmscher produced these are an external company. Its a shame companies have no hinge sight knowing the manta will eventually become a classic, and there would be market for this stuff, molds are probably long gone. Similar modern situation would be amg, merc situation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yeh, wonder did irmscher sell them with ford stamp? Any why did a ford indicator end up on an opel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 They are from the Capri Mk 3, but if you look at a pic of the prototype of the wide body I'm happy they choose the Ford indicators: They took the Capri headrest too😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo3000 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) The two sizes produced would explain things then i quess,.....the bigger size fitted to the i2800 as per sample pic,and the ones the seller has for sale are the smaller variant as fitted to Hermans first manta.😎.....so i would imagine quite rare items.😛 Edited April 25, 2021 by evo3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buz Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I have doubt with these being for a manta b. There are definitely two pairs of arches but whichever ones the rear are don’t seem to wrap round enough. I’ve found a photo of i2800 arches for comparison ( the red ones ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Look like they are 2pairs of the same type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivlek2525 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 This is a picture from mantadany.de he has an i2800. The eBay ones look similar to these but the rears look different to me. I could be wrong tho. 1 minute ago, Nivlek2525 said: This is a picture from mantadany.de he has an i2800. The eBay ones look similar to these but the rears look different to me. I could be wrong tho. The i2800 ones look much thinner at the 12 o clock position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
