Information: Sprinter W906 to W907 Conversion Kit: Parts, Cost and Fitment
A W906 to W907 conversion kit replaces the front bumper, grille and supporting exterior panels on a 2006-2018 Mercedes Sprinter with W907-generation (2018-present) styled components, giving your older van the modern face of the current model without a full vehicle replacement. At DL Auto Design we manufacture these parts in ABS plastic and fiberglass/FRP in Lithuania and ship worldwide, so owners in the United States (where the van is sold as the VS30 Sprinter) and South Korea can order direct with EU 0% VAT applied at checkout.
What Is a W906 to W907 Conversion Kit?
The Mercedes Sprinter was fully redesigned in 2018, moving from the W906 platform (2006-2018) to the W907/VS30 platform. The two generations share the same basic van architecture but have completely different front-end geometry, bumper mounting points, grille apertures and headlight housings. A conversion kit bridges this gap with aftermarket parts designed to bolt onto a W906 body while replicating the sharper, more upright aesthetic of the W907 front end.
The conversion is almost always a cosmetic upgrade. It is popular among fleet operators who want a consistent modern look across mixed-age vehicles, South Korean importers who refresh older W906 units before resale, and US owner-operators who want the new-generation face on a high-mileage workhorse that still runs strong mechanically.
Key Differences: W906 vs W907 Front End
Feature W906 (2006-2018) W907 / VS30 (2018-present) Bumper profile Rounded, softer lines Angular, upright slab face Grille style Single-bar horizontal grille Multi-bar or diamond-pattern grille Headlight shape Halogen rectangular unit Full-LED slim unit (optional) Parking sensor location Lower bumper or absent Integrated bumper pods Bumper mounting W906 crash beam W907 crash beam (different bolt pattern) Because the crash beam dimensions differ, a true bolt-on W907 bumper will not seat correctly on a W906 chassis without an adapter bracket or a purpose-built conversion bumper that replicates the W907 face while using W906 mounting geometry. This is the critical fitment point most buyers miss.
Parts Included in a Sprinter Facelift Conversion Kit
A complete W906 to W907 conversion kit from DL Auto Design typically contains the following components.
- Front bumper shell - the main visual element; available in W907 Sport, Elegance, VIP or Facelift styles; designed with W906-compatible mounting when specified
- Front grille - many W907 bumpers ship with a matching grille included; options include star-badge, debadged, diamond and AMG-style multi-bar designs
- Parking sensor inserts - pre-cut pods or blanks so the bumper accepts both fitted and non-fitted sensor configurations
- Fog light bezels - the W907 bumper has lower fog light recesses that differ from W906 units; conversion kits include the correct surrounds
- Optional side skirts - to blend the new front end with the rest of the van body
- Optional rear bumper - for a fully consistent new-generation look front to rear
Not included in a standard conversion kit: headlights, crash beam hardware, wiring harness extensions, or OEM Mercedes parts. You keep your existing W906 headlight units and wiring.
Fitment by Wheelbase: L1 to L4
Both the W906 and W907 are sold in short wheelbase (L1), standard (L2), long (L3) and extra-long (L4) variants. Front bumper width is identical across all wheelbases on both generations, so the same conversion bumper fits L1 through L4 without modification. Side skirts and rear bumpers, however, are wheelbase-specific and must be ordered for the correct body length. When you contact us at DL Auto Design, always state your wheelbase code alongside the generation to ensure precise fitment.
Material Options: ABS Plastic vs Fiberglass
We offer conversion parts in two materials, each suited to different use cases.
- ABS plastic - impact-resistant thermoplastic; better for daily-use commercial vans; resists minor parking knocks; easier to source touch-up paint; slightly heavier than FRP
- Fiberglass / FRP - lighter than ABS; preferred for show builds and luxury conversions; easier to reshape or extend for custom work; requires more careful handling during install
Both materials are supplied paint-ready with a primer coat. We also offer fully painted parts matched to your Mercedes paint code if you want to reduce workshop time on arrival.
Parking Sensors and ADAS Compatibility
This is the most technically sensitive area of any Sprinter bumper conversion. The W906 did not come with factory front parking sensors as standard, while many W907 units do. Our conversion bumpers include pre-drilled or pre-marked sensor locations so you can retain any aftermarket sensors already installed on your W906 or add new units. We do not currently manufacture parts that interface with W907 camera-based ADAS systems (Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist) because these systems are not present on W906 chassis. The conversion is therefore a visual upgrade only; no driver-assistance recalibration is required on the W906 vehicle.
W906 to W907 Bumper Kit: Step-by-Step Install Overview
- Remove the existing W906 front bumper by releasing the push-pin clips along the top edge, the two lower bolts behind the wheel arch liners and the two central fog light wiring connectors.
- Inspect the crash beam and bumper foam impact absorber; replace if damaged before fitting new parts.
- Dry-fit the new W907-style conversion bumper to check alignment with the headlight housings and front panel gaps. Adjust bracket position if needed.
- Connect fog light wiring using the original W906 connectors; install parking sensor wiring if adding sensors.
- Final-torque all fasteners per your workshop manual; test sensor function before closing the hood.
- Install the grille by pressing into the bumper aperture clips; no drilling required on most DL Auto Design grille designs.
Professional installation at a body shop or van conversion workshop is recommended for paint matching and sensor calibration. Installation time for the front bumper and grille alone is typically two to four hours.
Product Options We Recommend for the Conversion
For a straightforward Sprinter facelift conversion kit that replicates the W907 look on your older van, the Mercedes Sprinter W907 Front Bumper Facelift is our most direct match - it carries the W907 aesthetic in a part we have engineered for correct panel-gap alignment. If you want the full new-generation appearance including grille, fog housings and sensor pods in one purchase, the W907 Front Bumper Facelift 2018-2025 with Parking Sensor and Fog Lights (grille included) is our most complete bundle and one of our top-selling conversion packages globally.
Cost Factors and What Affects the Price
We do not publish fixed prices here because costs vary by material (ABS vs fiberglass), paint option (paint-ready vs painted to code), shipping destination and applicable duties. The key cost factors are listed below.
- Material - ABS parts are generally more affordable; FRP adds cost for the weight saving
- Paint option - paint-ready primer finish saves money upfront; factory-matched painted finish adds cost but saves body shop labor
- Kit scope - front bumper and grille only vs full front-side-rear conversion
- Shipping zone - DL Auto Design ships worldwide; US and South Korea orders are quoted with the appropriate carrier rate at checkout
- VAT - buyers outside the EU pay 0% VAT by default; this is a significant saving versus buying from a European dealer who includes local tax

Customs and Import Notes for US and South Korea Buyers
US buyers importing body panels from Lithuania should be aware that aftermarket plastic auto parts typically fall under HTS Chapter 39 or 87 depending on classification; your freight forwarder or customs broker can confirm the applicable duty rate. South Korean buyers benefit from the EU-South Korea FTA, which has reduced tariffs on automotive parts - check with your Korean customs agent for the current preferential rate. We provide a full commercial invoice and any documentation needed for customs clearance with every shipment.
TUV Certification and Legality
Several DL Auto Design products carry TUV certificates, which provide independent engineering validation of the part. The W906 to W907 conversion bumpers are cosmetic replacements; in most jurisdictions, a bumper replacement does not require type approval provided it does not obstruct lighting, number plates or safety sensors. US buyers should confirm compliance with FMVSS lighting standards if the conversion affects fog light placement. South Korean buyers should verify with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (TS) for modification registration requirements on commercial vans. We are happy to provide material certificates and dimensional drawings on request to support any approval process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a W907 front bumper bolt directly onto a W906 Sprinter?
A genuine OEM W907 bumper will not bolt onto a W906 chassis because the crash beam dimensions and mounting bolt pattern differ. DL Auto Design conversion bumpers are engineered to use W906 mounting geometry while replicating the W907 exterior face, so they fit without structural modification to your van.
Do I need to change my headlights as part of the conversion?
No. The conversion kit is designed to work with your existing W906 headlight units. You keep the original headlight housings and wiring. The bumper and grille are fitted around the existing lights.
Does the W906 to W907 conversion work on the VS30 Sprinter sold in the US?
The VS30 naming is used in the United States for the current W907 generation. If your van is a pre-2019 US-market Sprinter it is a W906 platform and our conversion kit applies. Post-2019 VS30 owners do not need a conversion kit and should browse our W907 / VS30 body kit range instead.
Can I order the conversion kit painted to my van's color code?
Yes. We offer parts in paint-ready primer finish or fully painted to your Mercedes paint code. Contact us with your color code when ordering and we will include the painted finish option at checkout.
How long does shipping take to South Korea or the United States?
We ship worldwide from Lithuania. Typical transit times are 5 to 10 business days for express courier to the US and South Korea. Freight rates and estimated delivery windows are provided at checkout. Non-EU buyers pay 0% VAT on all orders.
Which wheelbase do I need to specify when ordering?
The front bumper fits all wheelbases (L1 to L4) for both W906 and W907. If you are adding side skirts or a rear bumper to the conversion, you must specify your wheelbase code (L1, L2, L3 or L4) at the time of ordering so we ship the correct length part.
A W906 to W907 conversion kit is the most cost-effective way to modernize an older Sprinter without replacing the vehicle, and the result is a van that looks current-generation on the road and on the forecourt. At DL Auto Design we manufacture each part in ABS plastic or fiberglass to order in Lithuania, offer paint-ready and fully painted options, and ship directly to the US, South Korea and anywhere else in the world with EU 0% VAT for non-EU buyers.
