Here is our self build, there are few updates since I took this photo, but generally unchanged.

A few of my L5H4 Crafter 4 motion, work in progress! Sorting the outside and it’s going to Racespace next month for a full interior conversion.

Thanks! Only just got the wheels fitted and wrap done lasts week.

I have a question if you don’t mind, the front triangular covers on the front bumper, have you ever removed and looked behind? Reason I ask is because behind the covers on my van sits fully functional fog lights! Wondered if you had the same? Also, do you know if the rear bumper with built in step can be retrofitted? My van has the flat bumper. Thanks in advance!

Now why would they do that ?

Now why would they do that ?

It’s a Highline model, it’s possible in the factory that the light are fitted by default but the correct covers only fitted if ticked on the options list. A guess, I don’t know either

german vw crafter high line - Google Search

this google images shows some with and without fog lights so there must be a panel to swap to show them off

"What, the Crafter? We've had that ages, it's been in the garage"

that is incredibly odd. I cannot see them being a tick box thing, no company would use products that are not being paid for. Perhaps its had a different bumper at some point? was it new?
I've retrofitted fogs and it was pretty in depth bumper off, new surrounds etc

Yes it strange but I’m happy!! Checked they work from the switch too and did. I’ll try running the chassis number later and see if I can find the original spec list, I’ve just bought the van so don’t know the history

 

[NTHOMSON84]

Does anyone know if the rear bumpers are interchangeable?

 

[bullracing]

Yes you can retrofit the step bumper but i dont think you can run a vw tow bar with the step.
you can get replacement panel covers, it looked too much of a hassle to cut them out and the new ones are cheap enough

 

[Oldrat]

I’ve just looked and there are no lights hidden behind my front bumper covers.

 

[Raul a/3]

I will check mine tomorrow, I know it has a step each side as I used them.

Yes I guessed the step bumper wasn’t compatible with the towbar, I’m removing it anyway (will be for sale). Aside from the practically, the current bumper is scratched to hell…
