Curious if anyone here has seen a long nose Eurovan with a roo bar/brush guard on the nose. I really like the look, but none of the photos on Google show a part that’s still available.

Pic from Google images.
Yes, the photo is an earlier Eurovan.

The van is too sterile. Looking to change up my look a bit without doing the same things I see on every other van.
A brush guard, maybe a half wrap. A Tailgate-N-Go kitchen on the rear hitch.
A stereo and upgrade my ham radio. Make the van a bit more fun and not the same as every white van or Eurovan I see.

I installed a BusDepot black grille set, plus black replacement mirrors from eastern Europe. The headlights are BusDepot E-Codes. It's a less monolithic look.

Also note ham radio antennas.

Kourt, I commented on another one of your posts - welcome!
I love the black grilles, one of the guys in the Eurovan Enthusiasts FB group just did it as well and I think I'll be doing mine as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer! Bus Depot sells black grilles? I wonder if it is just easier to buy than to remove and paint.

I just installed my ID5100 in my Eurovan.

Sure, but removing to reinstall and removing to replace are two different things...
Plus bringing a part in for paint means the vehicle not being put back together same day. If the new parts come black already then its a simple R/R and back on the road in two hours...
