Mercedes Sprinter vs MAN TGE Body Kit Options for Europe

Information: Mercedes Sprinter vs MAN TGE Body Kit Options for Europe

Mercedes Sprinter and MAN TGE body kit options in Europe differ mainly in catalog depth, not in general concept. Sprinter parts at DL Auto Design are split by generation, W906 (2006-2018) and W907 (2019-present, per the Mercedes-Benz Vans Upfitter Portal), while MAN TGE parts appear in listings shared with Volkswagen Crafter. Before comparing styling, confirm your exact Sprinter generation or your TGE/Crafter body style, since a bumper, grille or side skirt built for one generation will not fit another without modification.

Sprinter vs MAN TGE Body Kit: How the Aftermarket Ranges Compare

Sprinter and MAN TGE are both large European panel vans with an active aftermarket styling market, but the way parts are cataloged differs. DL Auto Design lists Sprinter parts by generation code (W906 or W907), so buyers pick the exact bumper, grille or side skirt built for their van's model years. MAN TGE parts, by contrast, appear in listings that combine TGE and Volkswagen Crafter, reflecting shared product coverage for those two nameplates in the current range.

Why Generation and Model Code Matter Before Comparing Parts

A body kit that fits one Sprinter generation will not fit another without modification. The W906 covers 2006-2018 vans, and the W907 covers 2019-present vans, including the eSprinter, under the same 907 designation confirmed by the Mercedes-Benz Vans Upfitter Portal. For MAN TGE and Volkswagen Crafter, DL Auto Design's combined listings suggest shared exterior components for the current generation, but separate Crafter-only listings scoped to 2006-2018 also exist in the catalog. Treat any part description as generation-specific and confirm it against your van's exact model year and trim before ordering.

Comparison Criteria for Sprinter and MAN TGE Body Kits

• Generation match: confirm the part is listed for your Sprinter W906/W907 model year or for your specific TGE/Crafter body style.
• Sensor and camera layout: any front or rear bumper change must account for your van's actual parking sensor, radar or camera positions.
• Material: some listings specify ABS plastic in the product name; confirm material and finish for any part before ordering.
• Certification references: where a listing name includes a TUV reference, confirm the exact documentation and scope directly with DL Auto Design rather than assuming full type approval.
• Combined vs single-model listings: a TGE/Crafter combined listing may still require you to check TGE-specific trim details separately.

Sprinter Body Kit Options at DL Auto Design

The Sprinter range separates parts by W906 and W907 generations, with additional W907/W910 combined listings for parts that DL Auto Design lists across both current-era codes.

For a W907 front bumper option, see the Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Front Bumper W907 listing, and confirm the exact facelift and sensor configuration against your van before ordering.

MAN TGE and Volkswagen Crafter Body Kit Options at DL Auto Design

Three listings in the catalog combine both nameplates, while three additional listings are Crafter-only.

The Volkswagen Crafter MAN TGE Tuning Front Bumper Splitter Spoiler Lip is one of the combined listings; confirm the certification documentation and your exact TGE trim with DL Auto Design before ordering.

Trade-offs Between Sprinter and MAN TGE Aftermarket Support

The Sprinter catalog is deeper and split by exact generation, covering front and rear bumpers, side skirts, grilles, a roof spoiler with light bar, arch flares and combined full-kit listings for W907/W910. The MAN TGE catalog is smaller and mostly shared with Crafter listings for the current generation, with a few Crafter-only parts scoped to earlier model years. Therefore, Sprinter buyers can generally select a part matched to a narrower generation window, while TGE buyers should check whether a combined Crafter/TGE listing or a Crafter-only listing applies to their exact van before ordering.

Sensor and Certification Checks Before Ordering Either Platform

Mercedes-Benz technical guidance states that bumper modifications must account for the vehicle's actual parking sensor, radar and camera configuration. This general principle applies to any van undergoing a bumper change, Sprinter or TGE, regardless of brand. Where a listing name references TUV, treat it as a starting point for a documentation request rather than confirmation of full compliance, and always verify the scope of any certification against your specific van configuration and country requirements.

Which Platform Suits Your Project

If you run a Sprinter W906 or W907 and want the widest selection of generation-matched exterior parts in this catalog, front bumpers, rear bumpers, side skirts, grilles, roof spoiler and arch flares are all available by generation. If you run a MAN TGE, the available parts are listed jointly with Volkswagen Crafter for the current generation, and older Crafter-only parts do not automatically apply to TGE. In both cases, confirm your exact model year, body style and sensor layout with DL Auto Design before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DL Auto Design sell body kit parts specifically for MAN TGE, or only for Volkswagen Crafter?

The catalog includes three listings that combine Volkswagen Crafter and MAN TGE (a front bumper splitter/spoiler/lip, headlight trim, and a rear bumper addon spoiler). Three other Crafter listings do not mention TGE in the product name, so confirm which listing applies to your exact van.

Can a Sprinter W906 body kit be used on a W907 Sprinter?

No. The Sprinter catalog separates parts by generation because W906 (2006-2018) and W907 (2019-present) have different body designs. Always match the listing to your Sprinter's exact generation and model year.

Will changing the front bumper affect my Sprinter's or TGE's parking sensors?

Any bumper modification must account for the van's actual parking sensor, radar and camera configuration, per Mercedes-Benz technical guidance. This applies as a general principle to any van undergoing bumper work; confirm sensor compatibility for your specific product and van before ordering.

Are the Crafter/MAN TGE parts with a TUV reference in the name fully certified?

A TUV reference in a product name is not confirmation of full certification scope. Request the exact documentation from DL Auto Design and confirm it covers your specific van, part and country requirements before ordering.

Which van has more body kit options in this catalog, Sprinter or MAN TGE?

The Sprinter range is larger and split by generation (W906, W907, and combined W907/W910 listings), covering bumpers, grilles, side skirts, roof spoiler and arch flares. The MAN TGE range is smaller and mostly shared with Volkswagen Crafter listings.

Sprinter and MAN TGE body kit shopping both start with the same rule: match the part to your exact generation, body style and sensor configuration before ordering. The Sprinter catalog offers a deeper, generation-split selection, while MAN TGE options are currently listed together with Volkswagen Crafter parts. Review the W907 front bumper and Crafter/TGE front bumper listings above, and confirm fitment details with DL Auto Design for your specific van.
