Mercedes Sprinter W906 Body Kit for 2006-2018 Vans

Information: Mercedes Sprinter W906 Body Kit for 2006-2018 Vans

A Mercedes Sprinter W906 body kit is a set of aftermarket exterior parts - front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, grille, and roof spoiler - engineered specifically for the first-generation Sprinter platform produced from 2006 through 2018. We at DL Auto Design manufacture these components in Lithuania from ABS plastic and fiberglass/FRP, ship them worldwide, and offer them paint-ready or painted to match your van's factory color code.

What Is the Mercedes Sprinter W906 Generation?

The W906 is the internal Mercedes-Benz chassis code for the second Sprinter generation, sold in North America, Europe, and South Korea from 2006 to 2018. In the US market it is sometimes called the 2006-2018 Sprinter or the pre-facelift/pre-VS30 platform. It shares its body shell with the Volkswagen Crafter of the same years, which is a useful fact for buyers comparing cross-brand tuning options.

The W906 was produced in multiple wheelbases - short (L1), standard (L2), long (L3), and extra-long (L4) - and in panel van, crew van, minibus, and chassis-cab body styles. Body kit parts must match your specific wheelbase because sill length and rear overhang differ between variants. Always confirm your wheelbase code before ordering.

The generation ended in 2018 when Mercedes launched the W907 (VS30) with a completely restyled front end. W906 and W907 front bumpers and grilles are not interchangeable, so fitment by generation is the single most important specification to verify.

W906 Body Kit Components: What Is Available

A complete Mercedes Sprinter W906 aero kit typically includes five categories of parts. Each can be ordered separately or combined into a full styling package.

• Front bumper: Replaces the OEM lower fascia. Available in aggressive sport style with integrated fog-light housings or in a cleaner European touring look. Our Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Front Bumper W906 ABS Plastic is the most popular entry point for W906 owners because it bolts onto the factory mounting points without cutting or welding.
• Rear bumper: Adds a diffuser-style lower section that visually lowers the van and adds a sport or executive presence. Our Mercedes Sprinter Tuning Rear Bumper W906 is manufactured in fiberglass/FRP for weight savings and is supplied paint-ready.
• Side skirts: Close the gap between the front and rear bumpers along the rocker panel. The W906 side skirts are cut to length for each wheelbase variant, so specify L1, L2, L3, or L4 at checkout.
• Radiator grille: A grille swap is the fastest single visual upgrade on the W906. AMG-style, Maybach-style diamond, and debadged options transform the face of the van in under two hours.
• Roof spoiler / light bar: Mounts to the roof leading edge and can be ordered with an integrated LED light bar for added presence and safety lighting on commercial or executive builds.

ABS Plastic vs. Fiberglass: Which Material Is Right for You?

We manufacture W906 body kit parts in two materials, and the right choice depends on your use case and budget.

For fleet operators running W906 vans in daily delivery or passenger transfer service, ABS is the practical choice. For executive shuttle conversions, camper builds, or show vehicles where paint quality and weight matter most, fiberglass/FRP is preferred. Both options are available on most W906 kit parts we stock.

W906 Grille Options: AMG-Style, Radiator Bar, and Debadged

The factory W906 grille uses a horizontal bar design that looks functional but plain. Aftermarket grille upgrades are the single fastest way to modernize the 2006-2018 Sprinter face without touching the bumper. Options we offer include an AMG-inspired multi-bar grille, a classic single-star radiator grille, and a fully debadged clean-face grille for fleet rebranding or conversion coach builds.

All W906 grilles clip or bolt into the factory aperture. No cutting of the bumper or hood is required on standard panel van body styles. Minibus and chassis-cab variants may require minor fitment checks due to different fascia profiles - contact us before ordering if you have a non-standard body.

Parking Sensors, ADAS Cameras, and Sensor Compatibility

Many 2013-2018 W906 vans were delivered with factory parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers. Our replacement bumpers include pre-marked sensor drilling points so your existing sensors relocate cleanly. If your van has a factory reversing camera integrated into the rear step or tailgate, verify camera position before finalising rear bumper choice, as camera cutout position can vary by market and year.

The W906 predates the advanced ADAS radar systems found on the 2019+ W907, so radar calibration after a bumper swap is not typically required. However, if your van has an optional collision warning system (Distronic), confirm sensor housing compatibility with our team before ordering.

Sprinter 2006 Body Kit vs. Sprinter 2018 Body Kit: Are They the Same?

Yes - within the W906 generation, all model years from 2006 to 2018 share the same front fascia mounting structure and the same body line profile. A sprinter 2006 body kit and a sprinter 2018 body kit reference the same platform and the same parts will fit across the full production run. The only meaningful difference is that late-production 2017-2018 W906 vans in some markets received a minor lighting refresh, so confirm headlight style (halogen vs. LED daytime running light bezel) when ordering parts that integrate with the headlight area.

Installation Overview for W906 Body Kit Parts

Front bumper replacement on the W906 is a two-person job taking approximately two to four hours with basic hand tools. The factory front bumper is held by plastic push-pins along the top edge and two bolts per side in the wheel arch. Remove the OEM unit, transfer any fog lights or sensors, and fit the new bumper using the supplied hardware or OEM bolt positions.

Side skirts on the W906 attach via double-sided automotive tape and pop-rivet or self-tapping screw points along the sill. Surface preparation - clean, degrease, prime - is critical for adhesion longevity, especially in salt-road environments in northern Europe or North America. Rear bumper installation mirrors the front process and adds a step to reroute the tow-bar wiring if your van is tow-equipped.

Professional body shop installation is recommended if the parts will be painted to body color before fitting. Most of our customers in the US and Europe order the kit paint-ready, have a local shop match and spray the panels, then fit them. We can also supply parts pre-painted to your color code - provide the Mercedes paint code (found on the sticker inside the driver door jamb) when ordering.

TUV Certification and Legal Considerations

Several of our W906 body kit components are supplied with TUV certificates, which confirm that the part has been independently tested to meet European road safety and homologation standards. TUV-certified parts simplify vehicle re-registration and periodic technical inspection (MOT/TUV/APK) in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other EU markets. For US buyers, TUV certification is not a legal requirement but is a strong indicator of engineering quality and fitment accuracy.

Always check local regulations regarding front bumper projection and lower valance ground clearance before fitting any aftermarket front bumper. In most European jurisdictions the part must not create sharp edges or significantly reduce pedestrian impact protection zones. Our bumpers are designed with these standards in mind.

Shipping, VAT, and Customs for W906 Body Kit Orders

We ship Mercedes Sprinter W906 body kit orders worldwide from Lithuania. Delivery times to Western Europe are typically three to seven business days via freight carrier. Shipments to the US, Canada, and South Korea take seven to fourteen business days depending on customs clearance.

Non-EU buyers - including customers in the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Norway, and Switzerland - pay 0% EU VAT on all orders, which means the price shown is the price charged. Import duties in your destination country are the buyer's responsibility. US buyers importing body kit parts typically pay a low ad-valorem duty rate on plastic automotive parts; consult your customs broker or use the USPS/HTS lookup tool to confirm the applicable rate for your shipment value.

Large fiberglass panels (full-length side skirts, rear bumpers) ship in custom timber crates to prevent transit damage. ABS bumpers ship in reinforced cardboard with foam corner protection. All packages include a commercial invoice and packing list suitable for customs clearance.

W906 to W907 Style Conversion: Is It Possible?

A popular question we receive, especially from South Korean and Eastern European markets, is whether a W906 van can be converted to look like the newer W907 (2018+ / VS30) front end. The answer is: not as a direct parts swap, because the W907 headlights, hood, and fender geometry are different. However, fitting a bold aftermarket front bumper and a modernised grille to the W906 achieves a visually fresh, contemporary look without donor-car engineering. Many of our customers in South Korea use this approach to refresh older W906 minibuses for continued passenger service. For buyers planning to upgrade to a W907 platform, we have an extensive range of W907-specific kits available separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which body kit parts fit the Mercedes Sprinter W906?

Front bumpers, rear bumpers, side skirts, radiator grilles, and roof spoilers made specifically for the W906 platform fit all model years from 2006 to 2018. Parts are not interchangeable with the W907 (2018-present) generation. Always specify your wheelbase (L1 through L4) when ordering side skirts or rear bumpers.

What material are DL Auto Design W906 body kit parts made from?

We offer W906 body kit parts in two materials: ABS plastic and fiberglass/FRP. ABS is recommended for daily-use commercial vans due to its higher impact flexibility. Fiberglass is preferred for show builds and weight-sensitive executive conversions. Both are supplied paint-ready or can be ordered pre-painted to your Mercedes color code.

Do W906 body kit bumpers work with factory parking sensors?

Yes. Our W906 replacement bumpers include pre-marked drilling points for factory-size parking sensors. You transfer the existing sensors from your OEM bumper to the new unit. No additional sensor modules or recalibration is required for the standard W906 park-assist system.

Do non-EU buyers pay VAT on W906 body kit orders?

No. Buyers outside the European Union - including customers in the US, UK, South Korea, Norway, and other non-EU countries - pay 0% EU VAT on all orders from DL Auto Design. Import duties in your destination country may apply and are the buyer's responsibility.

Is a sprinter 2006 body kit the same as a sprinter 2018 body kit?

Yes. The W906 platform spans the full 2006 to 2018 production run with the same front fascia mounting points and body profile. Body kit parts designed for the W906 fit any year within this range. Confirm your headlight style (halogen or LED DRL) if ordering parts that integrate near the headlight aperture.

Are W906 body kit parts TUV certified?

Selected W906 body kit parts we manufacture carry TUV certificates, confirming independent testing to European road safety standards. TUV certification eases re-registration and periodic technical inspection in Germany and other EU countries. The product listing specifies whether a certificate is included.

How long does shipping take for a W906 body kit to the US?

We ship from Lithuania to the United States in approximately seven to fourteen business days via international freight carrier, depending on customs clearance speed. Large panel orders are packed in timber crates. Tracking is provided after dispatch.

A Mercedes Sprinter W906 body kit is one of the most cost-effective ways to modernize any 2006-2018 van - whether you operate a commercial fleet, run a passenger transfer service, or are building an executive or camper conversion.
