Upgrading your van doesn’t always have to be expensive or complicated. Some accessories make an immediate difference to day-to-day use, without requiring a large budget.
Two products that have been popular at Vooruwbus/yourvanstore for many years are the bumperplates and wind deflectors. They are often chosen individually, but together they also make for a smart and affordable upgrade for your van.
Why choose these two accessories?
Short answer: A bumper plate protects your rear bumper, whilst side wind deflectors make for a more comfortable ride.
These two accessories are popular because they both offer a clear practical benefit. You don’t just buy them for their looks, but mainly because you really notice the difference when using them day to day.
A bumper plate helps to prevent damage to the rear bumper during loading and unloading. Crosswind deflectors make it more comfortable to drive with the window slightly open, for example on hot days or during a rain shower.
Together, they give your van a small upgrade with a big practical impact.
1. Bumper plate: protection during loading and unloading
Short answer: A bumper plate helps to prevent scratches and wear and tear on the rear bumper.
The rear bumper of a van often has to put up with a lot. Think of tools, boxes, suitcases, machinery or other items that scrape against the bumper during loading and unloading.
A bumper plate is fitted to the rear bumper to provide an extra layer of protection. This helps prevent the original bumper from getting damaged too quickly.
This is a simple yet clever addition, particularly for work vans, delivery vans used on a daily basis, or vehicles where goods are frequently loaded and unloaded.
2. Wind deflectors: fresh air and less wind noise
Short answer: Wind guides allow you to keep your window partially open with less wind noise.
Wind deflectors, also known as crosswind screens, are fitted to the top of the side windows. This allows you to leave the window slightly open whilst ensuring that the air is channelled more effectively past the vehicle.
That’s handy on hot days, but also when it’s drizzling. It means you can still let some fresh air in without the rain coming straight in.
In addition, side skirts often give your van a slightly sleeker look.
A small upgrade with plenty of everyday benefits
Short answer: This combination is particularly useful if you want to make practical improvements to your van without a major investment.
A bumper plate and side wind deflectors aren’t a major modification, but they are accessories that you’ll use or notice on a regular basis.
| Accessory | Main advantage | Particularly useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Bumper plate | Protection for the rear bumper | Loading, unloading and everyday use |
| wind deflector | Fresh air and less wind noise | Driving in warm weather or light rain |
That is why these are two accessories that are often the first choice for customers looking to upgrade their van.
Will this fit your van as well?
Short answer: Via the number plate search tool you can quickly see which accessories are available for your van.
Not every product is suitable for every vehicle. That’s why it’s important to always look up your van first using the registration number search tool on Vooruwbus/Yourvanstore.
This way, you can see straight away which bumper plates, side wind deflectors and other accessories are available for your model. This makes it easier to choose and prevents you from ordering a product that isn’t suitable for your van.

A bumper plate is useful because the rear bumper of a van often gets damaged quite easily. During loading and unloading, items such as tools, machinery, boxes or suitcases can easily scrape against the bumper. A bumper plate provides an extra layer of protection over the original bumper. This helps prevent scratches, wear and tear, and signs of use. Particularly for a work van or delivery van that is used daily, this is a simple accessory that can prevent a great deal of damage.
Side wind deflectors are fitted to the side windows and ensure that air is channelled more effectively past the vehicle. This allows you to open the window partially with less wind noise than when the window is fully open. On hot days, fresh air flows in, and in light rain, there is less chance of rain getting in straight away. In addition, side wind deflectors give many vans a sleeker look.
On many vehicles, these accessories are relatively easy to fit. Wind deflectors are usually an affordable upgrade, and bumper plates are often straightforward to fit too, provided you choose the right model for your vehicle. If you want to be sure of a neat fit, you can enquire at Vooruwbus about a fitting appointment. This is particularly useful if you have any doubts about the fit or installation.
The range available isn’t exactly the same for every vehicle. That’s why it’s important to look up your van first using the registration number search tool. This way, you can see straight away which bumper plates, side wind deflectors and other accessories are suitable for your model. There’s a wide range available for many popular vans, but availability may vary depending on the year of manufacture, specification and model.
A bumper plate and crosswind deflectors are popular because they are affordable, practical and clearly useful. The bumper plate helps prevent damage in an area that is often subject to wear and tear. Crosswind deflectors make driving more comfortable and often give the van a more attractive appearance. Together, they form a simple upgrade that makes your van more practical without requiring any major modifications straight away.
