Information: Mercedes Sprinter W906 AMG Style Grille and Bumper Upgrade
A Sprinter W906 AMG grille swap combined with a tuning front bumper is the single most impactful exterior upgrade you can make to a 2006-2018 Mercedes Sprinter - it replaces the plain factory fascia with an aggressive, AMG-inspired look in a single afternoon. At DL Auto Design we manufacture and ship W906-specific grilles and front bumpers directly from Lithuania to customers in the United States, South Korea, and across Europe, with 0% VAT for all non-EU buyers.
Why the W906 Generation Rewards a Grille and Bumper Upgrade
The W906 Sprinter ran from 2006 through 2018, making it the most widely owned Sprinter generation on the road today. Its factory front end was designed purely for function: a narrow grille opening, a plain bumper, and no visual aggression whatsoever. That restraint is exactly why aftermarket grille and bumper upgrades are so popular with W906 owners in the US fleet market, Korean luxury conversion shops, and European executive transport operators.
Swapping to an AMG-style grille and a tuning bumper changes the proportions of the entire front end. The wider lower air intake, the bold vertical or horizontal slat grille insert, and the reshaped bumper corners give the W906 a presence that reads as deliberate rather than utilitarian. If you are building a shuttle bus, a camper conversion, or simply a high-image delivery van, the front end is the first thing people see.
W906 Generation and Fitment: What You Must Know Before Ordering
The W906 code covers every Sprinter built between model year 2006 and 2018, including facelifted 2013-2018 units. It shares its platform with the first-generation VW Crafter (2006-2017). The W906 was replaced by the W907 (also called VS30 in North America) for the 2019 model year, so fitment is strictly generation-specific - a W907 bumper will not bolt onto a W906 chassis.
Within the W906 family, wheelbase variants (L1 through L4) do not typically affect front bumper fitment because the front subframe geometry is consistent across wheelbases. However, you must confirm whether your van has front parking sensors already installed, because our bumpers are designed with matching sensor apertures so you can retain OEM sensor function without drilling.

The term AMG-style describes a grille design borrowing visual language from Mercedes-AMG passenger cars: bold horizontal bars or a diamond-pattern mesh, a prominent three-pointed star placement, and a blacked-out or chrome surround. For the W906 we offer two main directions.
The first is a direct-replacement radiator grille that installs into the existing factory grille frame. This is the fastest upgrade - no bumper removal required - and it immediately modernises the nose. Our Mercedes Sprinter W906 Front Grille fits this category and is available unpainted for body-color matching or finished in gloss black.
The second direction combines the grille replacement with a full tuning front bumper. This is the more dramatic transformation. Our Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Front Bumper W906 ABS Plastic ships as a complete unit with integrated lower splitter and reshaped fog light housings, delivering the full AMG-inspired fascia rather than just a grille insert swap.
Materials: ABS Plastic vs. Fiberglass for the W906
We produce W906 bumpers and grilles in two materials and the choice matters for your use case.
- ABS plastic - injection-moulded thermoplastic that flexes on minor impacts, resists chipping better in daily driving, and holds paint adhesion well. Recommended for vans in active commercial use or any van driven in environments where light contact is possible.
- Fiberglass (FRP) - lighter than ABS, easier to repair with filler, and the preferred choice for show builds and conversion coaches where weight savings and a perfectly flat paint surface matter more than flex resistance.
Both materials arrive paint-ready with a smooth primer coat. If you prefer a finished part, we also offer custom painting matched to your factory Mercedes paint code. Specify your code at checkout and we match it before shipping.
Parking Sensors, Fog Lights, and ADAS Compatibility
Modern W906 vans built after 2010 often carry factory front parking sensors and fog lights. Our tuning bumpers are pre-cut for sensor grommets in the OEM positions, so you transfer your existing sensors directly without redrilling. If your van uses a factory camera or lane-assist sensor mounted behind the front badge, confirm placement with us before ordering - we can advise the correct cut-out specification for your chassis number.
The W906 predates the most complex ADAS radar systems found on the W907, so sensor compatibility is generally straightforward. The grille replacement has no sensor implications unless your van uses a temperature sensor mounted in the grille surround, which is retained in its original position in our design.
Installation Overview for W906 Bumper and Grille
A grille-only swap on the W906 takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes with basic hand tools. The factory grille unclips from the upper crossmember and disconnects from two side tabs. Our replacement grille installs in reverse order - no cutting, no welding.
A full tuning bumper replacement is a 2 to 4 hour job for a competent workshop. The process follows these steps:
- Disconnect the battery and remove fog light wiring connectors.
- Remove the four lower bumper mounting bolts and two upper clips.
- Slide the factory bumper forward to release from the side guides.
- Transfer fog lights, parking sensors, and number plate surround to the new bumper.
- Reverse-fit the tuning bumper and reconnect all wiring.
- Test sensors and lights before road use.
All our W906 bumpers include a fitment guide. If your installer is unfamiliar with Sprinter front ends, most Mercedes independent workshops can complete this job without any specialist tooling.
Paint, Finish, and Colour Matching
Our parts ship in two states: unpainted primer-ready, or painted to your specification. For AMG-style grilles the most popular finishes in 2025 are gloss black, matte black, and body-colour with a gloss black grille insert. For bumpers, most US customers order in primer and paint locally to guarantee a perfect colour match under their own lighting conditions. Korean conversion shops typically order painted parts because domestic labour rates make factory-finish parts more economical overall.
If you order painted, provide your Mercedes paint code (found on the sticker inside the driver door frame) at the time of order. We use professional automotive basecoat-clearcoat systems and the part arrives ready to install without additional preparation.
Shipping to the United States and South Korea
We ship worldwide from Lithuania using DHL, FedEx, and freight forwarder options for larger orders. Typical transit times are 5 to 10 business days to the US East Coast and 7 to 12 business days to South Korea. All shipments include tracking from dispatch.
US buyers: bumpers and grilles are classified as motor vehicle parts for customs purposes. Duties are typically modest but are the buyer's responsibility on import. We provide a correct commercial invoice with HS code to simplify clearance. We do not inflate declared values.
South Korean buyers: we have shipped to Korean conversion workshops and individual W906 owners regularly. Korea applies an import duty on plastic automotive parts - confirm the current rate with your customs broker before ordering. We mark shipments accurately and can provide a Korean-language packing list on request.
EU buyers: orders are shipped from within the EU so no import duty applies. Lithuanian VAT is charged at the standard rate for EU consumers. Non-EU buyers outside South Korea and the US equally benefit from 0% VAT at checkout - the price you see is the price you pay.
W906 to W907 Upgrade Path: Planning Ahead
Some W906 owners in the US and Korea are choosing to upgrade their van's front end to W907 styling as part of a deeper conversion. This is a more involved project requiring custom sub-frame adapters and is not a simple bolt-on swap. We cover this separately in our W906 to W907 conversion guide. For buyers who want the AMG look without conversion complexity, the direct W906-spec tuning bumper and grille combination we described above is the practical and proven route.
Quality, Certification, and After-Sales
DL Auto Design is a manufacturer, not a reseller. Every part is produced in our facility in Lithuania under quality-controlled conditions. Many of our bumpers and grilles carry TUV certificates, confirming that the parts meet European road safety standards for lighting aperture, pedestrian impact zones, and structural integrity. We can provide TUV documentation on request for any certified part in our range.
Returns are accepted within the standard period for parts that arrive damaged or that are incorrect against the confirmed order specification. We photograph every part before dispatch and include that documentation in the shipment so any transit damage claim is straightforward to process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What years does the Mercedes Sprinter W906 cover?
The W906 generation covers all Sprinter vans built from 2006 through 2018, including the 2013 facelift models. It was replaced by the W907 (VS30 in North America) for the 2019 model year.
Will a W907 AMG grille fit my W906 Sprinter?
No. The W906 and W907 share no front-end interchangeable parts. The mounting points, crossmember width, and surround geometry are different between generations. Always order generation-specific parts.
Do DL Auto Design W906 bumpers work with existing parking sensors?
Yes. Our W906 tuning bumpers are pre-cut for factory OEM parking sensor positions so you can transfer your existing sensors directly without drilling new holes.
Is there 0% VAT for buyers in the United States or South Korea?
Yes. Non-EU buyers including customers in the US and South Korea pay 0% Lithuanian VAT. Import duties in the destination country may apply and are the buyer's responsibility.
How long does shipping take to the US and South Korea?
Typical delivery is 5 to 10 business days to the United States and 7 to 12 business days to South Korea. All orders ship with tracking from our facility in Lithuania.
Are the W906 bumpers ABS or fiberglass?
We offer both. ABS plastic is recommended for daily commercial use because it flexes on minor impacts. Fiberglass is lighter and preferred for show builds and executive conversions. Both arrive paint-ready.
Do the grilles and bumpers come with TUV certification?
Many parts in our range carry TUV certificates confirming compliance with European road safety standards. Contact us specifying the part you need and we will confirm whether TUV documentation is available for that item.
Can I order the bumper pre-painted to my Mercedes colour code?
Yes. Provide your Mercedes paint code (found on the sticker inside the driver door jamb) at checkout and we will paint the part before shipping using professional automotive basecoat-clearcoat systems.
