VW Transporter Carbon Fibre Sidebars Retrofit Unveiled
VW Transporter carbon fibre sidebars upgrade – out with the old, in with the carbon!
Old, rusty, and well past their best — these side bars were letting the whole van down. Now swapped for a fresh set of VW Transporter carbon fibre sidebars from Transporter HQ, and the difference is night and day. 💥⚫
Ever look at your van and think, “That’s not quite the look I’m going for anymore”? That’s exactly what this customer said before bringing their Transporter to us. We replaced the original tired side bars with a stunning set of VW Transporter carbon fibre sidebars that completely refreshed the van’s appearance.
What We Did
We removed the old corroded side bars—years of road grime had taken their toll. In their place went a premium set of Transporter HQ carbon fibre sidebars, known for their sleek finish and durability. These aren’t just cosmetic—they’re designed as direct replacements, so no dodgy brackets or awkward drilling required. A perfect fit, first time.
- ✔️ Genuine carbon fibre side bars installed
- ✔️ Direct factory-style fit—no modifications needed
- ✔️ Rust-proof, lightweight, and built to last
- ✔️ Cleaned and prepped mounting points before install
Why It Matters
Side bars aren’t just for looks—they offer protection from car park dings and side debris. But when they’re rusted or sagging, they do more harm than good. Replacing them with carbon fibre means less weight, no rust, and a seriously upgraded aesthetic. If you’re aiming for a clean, modern profile, this is the retrofit to start with.
Waiting While We Work?
This job takes roughly 1–2 hours, depending on the condition of the original bars. While we worked, our customer relaxed in our dedicated waiting area—complete with free Wi-Fi, hot drinks, and a smart TV. Prefer to watch the progress? We’ve got a workshop viewing window too. Or head out for a walk through Higham on the Hill while we get your van looking sharp.
Why Expertise Matters
Some bars claim to be carbon fibre, but only offer a wrap over plastic or stainless. Not these. We only install genuine Transporter HQ parts from trusted suppliers. Fitting requires removing the old bars without damaging the sills, aligning the new mounts perfectly, and torqueing everything to spec. Done right, they’ll last for years without a squeak—or rust bubble—in sight.
