Information: Mercedes Sprinter Exterior Upgrade Kit for Executive Vans
A Mercedes Sprinter exterior upgrade kit transforms a standard cargo or passenger van into a polished executive vehicle by replacing or augmenting the factory front bumper, grille, side skirts, rear bumper, and roof spoiler with purpose-designed aftermarket components. At DL Auto Design, we manufacture and supply complete exterior upgrade kits specifically engineered for the W906 and W907/VS30 Sprinter generations, with every kit available in ABS plastic or fiberglass, paint-ready or fully painted, and shipped worldwide from Lithuania.
What Is a Sprinter Exterior Upgrade Kit and Who Needs One
An executive Sprinter exterior upgrade kit is a curated set of body panels and trim pieces that replaces or supplements OEM parts to deliver a coherent luxury or sport aesthetic. A single-piece front bumper redesign, a debadged or AMG-style grille, matching side skirts, and a sculpted rear bumper all work together to raise the visual class of the van dramatically. Conversion operators, VIP shuttle builders, tour operators, and high-end camper van converters are the primary buyers, but corporate fleet managers also order these kits to differentiate branded vehicles.
The upgrade is equally relevant in the United States, where the W907 is marketed as the VS30 Sprinter, and across Europe, where the W907 and the higher-roof W910 share the same generation platform. Regardless of geography, the fitment logic is identical: choose your chassis generation, confirm your wheelbase code (L1 through L4), and select the style that matches your brief.
Sprinter Generations and Fitment: W906 vs W907/VS30 vs W910
Fitment accuracy is the single most important factor when ordering aftermarket exterior parts for a Sprinter. An incorrectly specified bumper will not align with the headlight housings, parking sensor ports, or grille aperture. We at DL Auto Design build every kit to one of three generation specifications.
Generation Years US Name Notes W906 2006-2018 Sprinter (gen 2) Round headlights, narrower grille opening W907 / VS30 2018-present VS30 Sprinter Angular LED headlights, wider grille, ADAS sensors in bumper W910 2018-present N/A (EU only) Higher roof variant, shares W907 front-end geometry The W907 is currently the dominant platform and receives the broadest range of styles from our catalog. The W906 catalog remains active for operators running older fleets or performing generation-bridging conversions popular in South Korea and Eastern Europe.
Kit Components: What a Full Executive Upgrade Includes
A complete executive Sprinter exterior upgrade kit from DL Auto Design typically consists of the following elements, which can be ordered individually or as a coordinated package.
- Front bumper - the largest single visual change; options include Sport, Elegance, VIP, Facelift, and Classic styles for the W907
- Radiator grille - AMG-style horizontal bar, Maybach-style vertical pin, diamond-pattern, star-center, or fully debadged; all W907 and W906 variants available
- Side skirts - available in ABS plastic for the W906 and W907; close the visual gap between wheel arches and improve side-profile proportions
- Rear bumper and diffuser - VIP rear bumper and add-on diffuser units for W907; tuning rear bumper for W906
- Roof spoiler with integrated light bar - adds a roofline accent and can incorporate LED running lights
- Arch flares - W907 fender flares widen the stance for builds requiring wider wheels or a more muscular silhouette
Our Mercedes Benz Sprinter W907 VIP full kit bundles the front bumper, matching grille, side skirts, and rear bumper into a single order, which is the most practical option for executive conversion shops that need a coherent look without sourcing each component separately.
Material Options: ABS Plastic vs Fiberglass (FRP)
We offer two core materials across our product range, and the right choice depends on how the van will be used and finished.
ABS thermoplastic is our recommendation for most executive builds. It is flexible enough to absorb minor parking impacts without cracking, holds a precise factory-like surface straight from the mold, and accepts paint without the additional substrate preparation that fiberglass requires. ABS parts arrive ready for your body shop to clean, prime, and paint to the vehicle color code.
Fiberglass (FRP) is the preferred option when weight is a concern on longer bodies or when a builder wants to modify the surface profile before painting. FRP parts are slightly lighter than ABS equivalents and can be reshaped with standard bodywork tools. Both materials are delivered paint-ready; a painted finish to a customer-supplied color code is available on request.
ADAS and Parking Sensor Compatibility
The W907/VS30 front bumper houses parking sensors, optional radar modules for active distance assist (Distronic), and in some markets a front camera. Any aftermarket front bumper that ignores these requirements will force the owner to disable safety systems or modify the bumper in the field - an unacceptable outcome on an executive vehicle. We design W907 bumpers with pre-cut sensor ports in the correct OEM positions. Several of our sport and facelift bumper options also include provision for fog lamps, so no functionality is lost in the upgrade.
The Sprinter W907 Sport Front Bumper (2018-2025) is specifically engineered with parking sensor cutouts and fog light provisions and includes a matching front grille as a gift with purchase - making it one of the most complete single-component upgrades in our range.
TUV Certification, Legal Compliance, and Road Use
Exterior body modifications are subject to type-approval rules in the EU and equivalents in the US and other markets. We hold TUV certificates for a number of our parts, which provides documented proof that a component meets European safety and material standards - a requirement in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and increasingly important for insurance purposes across the EU. Buyers should confirm local regulations before installation; our product pages note where TUV documentation is available for a specific part. In the US, no federal certification equivalent exists for bolt-on exterior parts, but state-level inspection compliance is the buyer's responsibility.
Ordering, Shipping, and VAT for US and EU Buyers
We ship worldwide from Lithuania via tracked courier services. EU buyers pay Lithuanian VAT where applicable. Non-EU buyers - including customers in the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and the Gulf states - purchase at 0% EU VAT, which represents a meaningful saving on higher-value full body kits. Import duties in the destination country remain the buyer's responsibility; US Customs typically classifies these parts under automotive body parts HTS codes, and many individual components fall within de minimis thresholds depending on order value.
Lead times vary by product: in-stock ABS parts ship within a few business days; custom paint orders and fiberglass pieces may require additional production time. All orders include tracking from dispatch. We accept returns in line with our published returns policy for parts that arrive damaged or are supplied incorrectly.
Style Guide: Choosing the Right Upgrade for an Executive Sprinter
The three most popular executive styling directions we see in 2025 are VIP luxury, sport touring, and stealth/debadged. Each suits a different operator brief.
- VIP luxury - Maybach-style vertical grille pins, chrome or gloss-black finish, VIP rear bumper with subtle diffuser detail. Best for passenger shuttle, hotel transfer, and corporate chauffeur builds.
- Sport touring - aggressive front bumper with lower air intake, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Best for high-mileage express courier or VIP travel vans where the driver wants presence without ostentation.
- Stealth / debadged - debadged grille, body-color or matte-black finish on all trim. Best for security detail vehicles, film production, and private-client builds where discretion is the brief.
Installation Overview
Front bumper replacement on a W907 requires removal of the OEM front bumper cover, disconnection of parking sensor wiring harnesses and fog lamp connectors, transfer of the sensor brackets to the new bumper, and reassembly. The entire process is achievable in three to five hours by a competent body shop with basic hand tools. Grille swaps are faster - typically under an hour. Side skirts are bolted and adhesive-bonded to the sill. We recommend professional installation for any van that will be used for passenger transport to ensure correct sensor reconnection and paint finish quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Sprinter generations do your exterior upgrade kits fit?
Our kits cover the W906 (2006-2018) and the W907/VS30 plus W910 (2018-present). Every product page specifies the exact generation and wheelbase codes it fits, so always cross-reference before ordering.
Do your W907 front bumpers retain the factory parking sensors?
Yes. Our W907 bumpers are designed with OEM-position parking sensor cutouts. Sport and facelift bumper models also include provisions for fog lights so no safety or comfort features are lost.
What is the difference between ABS plastic and fiberglass kits?
ABS plastic is more flexible, better at absorbing minor impacts, and requires no additional surface prep before painting, making it ideal for most builds. Fiberglass is slightly lighter and can be reshaped by a body shop before paint, which suits custom conversion work.
Do US buyers pay EU VAT?
No. Non-EU buyers including US customers purchase at 0% EU VAT. Import duties or taxes in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility.
Can I order parts painted to my Sprinter's color code?
Yes. We offer parts in paint-ready (unfinished) form and can arrange painted finish on request. Contact us with your Mercedes color code when placing the order.
Are TUV certificates available for your Sprinter body kit parts?
TUV certificates are available for selected parts in our range. The product listing page for each item indicates whether a TUV certificate is included or available. We recommend checking this if you are registering the vehicle in Germany or another strict EU market.
Can I order a full body kit for the W907 rather than individual parts?
Yes. We offer full body kits for the W907 and W910 that bundle the front bumper, grille, side skirts, rear bumper, and in some configurations a roof spoiler. Our VIP, Sport, Elegance, and Sport Facelift complete kit options are listed in the hot-price section of the site.
