Ford Transit Custom 2018-2023 Front Styling

The Ford Transit Custom is arguably one of the favourites amongst campers and trades alike. With a good load capacity and a not so bulky approach to layout, it’s ideal for those that want versatility. Unfortunately, unless you’re lucky enough to have the cash for a high ticket MSRT model, they’re very much styled like a van, but that’s where we can help.

With a wide range of accessories to spice up the front end of your Transit Custom, your doesn’t have to suffer with a bland face. Easy installation bonnet protectors and front grilles easily get your van noticed, and help stand out from the crowd. Whilst front grilles are predominantly a styling feature, items like bonnet protectors will help take the brunt from small road debris, a sacrificial item for your expensive paintwork. Usually bonnet protectors and deflectors are available in various colours and finishes, helping to blend in with your chosen style, and can often be painted should you want to utilise them to cover up old stone chips and scuffs.

Bonnet deflectors help protect more than the bonnet edge, but can help redirect debris up and over the windscreen, preventing chips and cracks and prolonging the life of your screen. Most deflectors are a no drill and no stick fitment, meaning you can easily take off or replace without any modifications.

An ever popular choice for light modification is a front bumper lip and splitter. Even if your van is standard height, these accessories help give your van a more sporty and lower look without needing to fork out for expensive coilover kits, which isn’t always possible. The main difference between a splitter and lower bumper lip is that a splitter will usually attach directly onto the bottom of the standard bumper, keeping the profile the same with a sporty add on ‘plate’, whereas a bumper lip often extends the standard bumper downwards, giving a more continuous look. Splitters are notorious for being easier to fit, and as they come standard in a gloss black finish, you don’t need to paint it, it’ll be ready to fit straight out of the box. As bumper lips are designed to give a more subtle but sporty factory look, they’ll need finished, primed and painted. Sometimes getting the right look with a bumper extension can be fiddly, so it’s worth considering which is right for you.

Sun visors are an all time classic when it comes to accessorising your van, especially a Ford Transit. Attaching at both sides, with an acrylic blade between the brackets to form the visor, they’re an easy way of looking great and being functional at the same time. Keep the sun from your eyes without internal visors.



FAQ:
Q: Can I remove a bonnet protector after it has been fitted?
A:They’re fitted using self adhesive tape to get a low profile look, so whilst they might be tricky to get off, they can be removed but may leave some of the adhesive behind.

Q: What are streamers?
A: They don’t go on the end of handlebars in this case, but rather they’re usually polished steel trims that emphasise areas, often on grilles and mirrors
