Dealers really. Once fitted they are scrap as they stretch and let the bumper drop slightly

Dealers £32

Wow. Used to be £25

Indeed, bollocks! As these are semi sacrificial they would be great for 3D printing.

Cheers, quoted 28 at sytners, ouch... Might try a zip tie bodge first!

I am going to buy some of these just to have in the drawer I think, as eventually they'll be no more...

Remember that a key of their design is they are detachable. In the event of a minor crunch or even push on the bumper the bracket releases. If it's fixed then you bend the metal wing and have an eye watering bill

The problem I have is that one side the bracket is partially damaged so doesn't clip to the wing properly so was thinking of zip tie to keep in place better, would that still cause an issue?

Yes - just replace it. The idea is that the top half of the bracket stays fixed and the bottom pops out. As they tire or have the bumper removed many times that point weakens.
