Bonnet Protector Volkswagen T6 2015-2019

A bonnet protector for the Volkswagen T6, 2015-2019. The T6 has a relatively short, flat bonnet, so its leading edge is especially exposed to stones thrown up by the vehicle in front. The deflector takes those hits.

The supplier gives UV-stabilised ABS, a piano black finish and the option to paint. The photo shows a T6 with the deflector fitted, plus the product: a long, slightly curved profile with mounting holes and the full set of fasteners.

Fitting and notes

The deflector arrives covered with a protective film — which is why it looks matt and frayed at the edges in photos. The film comes off at fitting, and only then does the true gloss show.

The product photo shows the mounting kit: six clips, six screws, washers, caps, a strip of tape and an illustrated instruction sheet.

The supplier closes the range at 2019. The T6.1 with its revised front end arrived in 2019 — fitment to that version has to be confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the deflector look matt in the photo?

Because it is covered with transport film. Underneath is the piano black gloss.

Can the deflector be painted to match the car?

The supplier says it can. It does not say which primer to use — that is a question for your paint shop.

Does it fit the VW T6.1?

The supplier gives the 2015-2019 range, which suggests the pre-update T6 only. The T6.1 has a different front end — confirm before ordering.
