Used Volkswagen Crafter Wing

The Crafter comes in two main generations: the first generation ran from 2006 to 2017, and the second generation launched in 2017 and is still in production. Wings are shared across wheelbases and roof heights within each generation, so the key thing is matching your van to the correct generation. Always confirm the exact year of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Both 2010 and 2015 Crafters fall within the first generation (2006–2017), and front-end panels are broadly shared across that generation, but there was a facelift during this period that updated the front-end styling. Because 2010 and 2015 may sit either side of that facelift boundary, you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific panel from the donor vehicle matches your registered van before purchasing.

No — a 2016 Crafter is first generation (2006–2017) and a 2018 Crafter is second generation (2017-onwards), so the two generations use different front-end panels and wings will not interchange. You need to source a wing from the matching generation to your van. Make sure to give the breaker your full registration so they can confirm the correct part.

Trim level does not affect wing fitment on the Crafter — the panels are the same across Startline, Trendline, and Highline grades within a generation. That said, there may be minor cosmetic differences such as mirror finish or whether the panel is pre-drilled for certain features, so it is worth mentioning your trim to the breaker so they can flag anything to expect. The generation and facelift period remain the most important matching factors.

No — front-end panels including wings are shared across short, medium, and long wheelbase versions, and across low, medium, and high roof variants, within a generation. Whether you have an LWB high-roof or a SWB standard-roof van, the wing is the same part for that generation. Focus instead on confirming your generation (2006–2017 or 2017-onwards) and any facelift details with the breaker.

Nearside (NS) is the left-hand side of the van as you sit in the driver's seat — that is the kerb side in the UK — and offside (OS) is the right-hand side, the driver's side. Wings are handed parts, so make sure you specify NS or OS clearly when getting a quote from the breaker. Double-check by looking at your van from the front and confirming which side needs replacing before ordering.
