Alloy Wheels

Volkswagen Transporter factory alloys – safe, stylish and load-rated.

Shiny new alloys are often the first upgrade, but ensure they’re designed for vans and carry the correct load rating. Consult specialists for stud patterns, tyre sizes, and safety requirements. Modern designs come in a huge range of colours and finishes.

The Front End

Side Steps, Bars and Running Boards

VW Transporter side steps and running boards Side steps make access easier and add style.

Side steps not only help passengers get in and out but also add sleek styling and protect the body. Many designs bolt straight to original mounting points without drilling.

Easy-Fit Chrome

VW Transporter chrome mirror trims Mirror trims, door handle covers, and indicator rims add a shiny touch.

Polished chrome trims for mirrors, door handles and indicators are inexpensive, easy to fit, and instantly boost kerb appeal.

Luxurious Leather

VW Transporter custom leather seats Leather retrims bring comfort, style and the classic leathery smell.

A leather retrim can transform your van’s interior. Options range from factory-spec Raceline seats to full custom jobs covering dashboards, door cards, and headliners. Swivel captain’s seats add versatility and comfort.

Whether subtle chrome touches or a full luxury refit, accessorising your VW Transporter makes it uniquely yours.

Ply-lining involves fitting protective wooden panels to the interior of a van’s load space, safeguarding the bodywork from dents, scratches, and other damage caused by shifting tools or cargo.

The article highlights how ply-lining can be customised to fit different vans and requirements, while also providing a solid base for adding shelving or racking systems. Maun Motors notes that many of their vans are already ply-lined and ready for use, offering added convenience and long-term savings for customers.
