Information: Mercedes Sprinter vs Ford Transit Body Kit Availability
Body kit availability differs between the Mercedes Sprinter and the Ford Transit mainly because the two vans come from different manufacturers and are split into distinct generations, each requiring its own bumpers, grilles and body panels. DL Auto Design manufactures and sells exterior styling parts for the Mercedes Sprinter, including the W906, W907 and W910 generations, plus the Volkswagen Crafter/MAN TGE and the Mercedes Vito/V-Class, but does not currently offer Ford Transit body kits. If you are weighing the two vans for a styling project, the real question is not simply which van has more parts listed online, but which exact generation and configuration you own, and whether a supplier can confirm fitment for it.
Why Availability Depends on Platform and Generation, Not Just the Brand
A body kit is molded to match a specific bumper shape, grille opening and mounting point layout. Those details change every time a manufacturer updates a van's generation or applies a facelift. For the Mercedes Sprinter, the Mercedes-Benz Vans Upfitter Portal identifies the 2019-present Sprinter, and the 2023-present eSprinter, under model series 907. In the US this generation is commonly referred to as VS30, while European fitment documentation uses W907. The earlier 2006-2018 Sprinter is documented separately as W906. Parts built for one generation do not carry over to the next without modification.
The same logic applies to any commercial van. Ford Transit has also been updated and revised across its production history, and any generation or facelift change on that platform would affect which body kit parts fit which version. Because DL Auto Design does not manufacture or sell Ford Transit parts, we cannot confirm specific Transit generation compatibility here. That gap itself is useful information: if your search is really about Transit body kits, you need a supplier who works specifically with that platform and can state the exact model years covered.
Mercedes Sprinter Body Kit Availability by Generation
DL Auto Design's Sprinter catalog is organized around the two documented model series, which keeps fitment questions straightforward:
- W906 (2006-2018): front and rear bumpers, front grille, and side skirts built for the earlier body shape.
- W907 (2018-present): multiple front bumper styles, a classic-style bumper, a facelift bumper, several grille options, rear bumpers, side skirts and arch flares.
- Full body kit components listed for W907/W910: items such as the diamond-style front grille and roof spoiler are listed for both codes together. Always check the specific product page and confirm compatibility for your exact van's VIN and configuration before ordering, since W907 and W910 are not automatically interchangeable in every case.
Two examples from the current range: the Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Front Bumper W907 is built for the current Sprinter generation, and the Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Front Bumper W906 Abs Plastic is built for the earlier 2006-2018 body.
Ford Transit Body Kit Considerations
DL Auto Design does not list Ford Transit products, so we cannot state which bumpers, grilles or side skirts are available for that van, in what generation, or with what sensor cutouts. If Transit styling parts are your goal, apply the same verification steps described below with a supplier who publishes Transit-specific fitment details, including the exact model year range and cab configuration each part is designed for.
Criteria to Check Before Buying a Body Kit for Either Van
Regardless of which van you drive, the same checklist applies before ordering:
- Generation and model code: confirm whether your van matches the code the part is listed for (for example W906 versus W907, or the equivalent Transit generation).
- Wheelbase and roof height: vans are sold in short, long and extended configurations, and side skirts or arch flares are often generation- and length-specific.
- Sensor and camera configuration: Mercedes-Benz technical guidance states that bumper modifications must account for the vehicle's actual parking, radar, camera and driver-assistance sensor layout. Confirm with the seller whether a specific bumper is designed around your sensor setup before ordering.
- Material and finish as listed: product titles indicate details such as ABS plastic construction or unpainted/debadged finish. Rely on what is stated on the product page rather than assuming paint, hardware or fitment details not mentioned there.
- Facelift status: within the same generation, a facelift can change the bumper shape again. DL Auto Design lists a dedicated Mercedes Sprinter W907 Front Bumper Facelift separately from the standard W907 bumper for exactly this reason.
Where DL Auto Design Fits: Sprinter, Crafter and Vito Parts
DL Auto Design, based in Panevezys, Lithuania, sells exterior styling parts for the Mercedes Sprinter (W906 and W907), the Volkswagen Crafter and MAN TGE, and the Mercedes Vito/V-Class. If your project is centered on a Sprinter, Crafter or Vito, you can compare bumpers, grilles, side skirts and full body kit components directly on the product pages. For example, Crafter and MAN TGE owners can review the Volkswagen Crafter Man Tge Tuning Front Bumper Splitter Spoiler Lip Tuv alongside the Sprinter range. If your van is a Ford Transit, this article should help you know which questions to ask a Transit-specific supplier rather than assuming a Sprinter or Crafter part could be adapted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DL Auto Design sell Ford Transit body kits?
No. DL Auto Design's current catalog covers the Mercedes Sprinter (W906 and W907), the Volkswagen Crafter and MAN TGE, and the Mercedes Vito/V-Class. It does not include Ford Transit parts.
Can a Mercedes Sprinter body kit be fitted to a Ford Transit?
No. The two vans use different platforms, body dimensions and mounting points, so Sprinter-specific bumpers, grilles or side skirts are not designed to fit a Transit.
Why do Sprinter body kits reference codes like W906, W907 or W910?
These codes identify the vehicle generation. The Mercedes-Benz Vans Upfitter Portal documents the 2019-present Sprinter and eSprinter under series 907, while the earlier 2006-2018 van is W906. Matching the correct code is the main way to confirm a part fits your van.
What is the fastest way to confirm body kit fitment for my van?
Check your van's generation, model year, wheelbase and roofline against the exact wording on the product page, and confirm your sensor and camera configuration with the seller before ordering, since bumper cutouts vary by build.
Sprinter and Transit body kit availability is driven by platform and generation, not brand popularity. DL Auto Design can confirm fitment details for the Sprinter W906 and W907, the Crafter/MAN TGE and the Vito/V-Class ranges; for a Ford Transit project, use the same generation and sensor-configuration checklist with a Transit-specific supplier. Browse the Sprinter, Crafter and Vito product pages linked above to compare exact fitment before you order.
