That to me, looks like a GSi bumper modified, if you look at the shade of colour between the bumper and fender, there's a slight difference, aside the sunlight reflection. They've probably added more surface panels to the bumper, filled up the gaps, smoothed it down and sprayed it. Not bad, i admit.

No the one in the first photo is a irmscher jobbie un moddifed. Its not the bottom spoiler just blended in. I'll have a look on a memory stick see if I can find the Opel vectra A with it fitted along with whole kit. It comes with some side skirts that go up the rear door with a panel to make it stick out.
