Wheel arch protection in your van
The dent is always in the same corner, and you only notice it at trade-in. A closed housing absorbs the knocks and gives you a worktop at the same time.

The forgotten corner of your load space
Wheel arch protection for your van: from dead corner to worktop
Wheel arch protection for your van closes off the spot that is usually skipped during a fit-out. Three closed sides and a top panel absorb the knocks before they reach your bodywork. Your wheel arch immediately becomes a worktop, with storage space underneath.
The knocks you do not see coming
No more dents in the corner you never see
A trolley that slides on, a machine that tips over. The wheel arch sticks out into your load space and absorbs all of that. The dent sits in a corner you never look at, until the next owner finds it at trade-in.
Wheel arch protection for your van puts three closed sides in front of it. The bodywork underneath stays intact, and the cataphoretic coating keeps rust away at the spot where moisture and road salt linger the longest.
Did you know the wheel arch is usually skipped during a fit-out? If you only lay a floor and wall panels, this very part stays uncovered.
Lost space that counts again
A flat worktop, exactly where nothing fits now
Above your wheel arch there is always a strip left where you cannot put anything. Too narrow for a cabinet, too high for a drawer, so at most some clutter lies there that shifts at every bend.
The top panel of the wheel arch protection turns that into a flat surface, with an anti-slip mat on it so your materials stay where you put them. If there is a lashing rail in your side wall, you can secure ladders, loading ramps or a hand truck straight onto it.
Did you know you can use the top panel as a securing point? With a strap on the lashing rail, your ladder stays firmly in place, even in an emergency stop.
Steel or wood, you choose
Choose steel for heavy work or plywood for clean cargo
Not every tradesperson asks the same of their load space. If you carry stone and metal, you want metalwork that gives way to nothing. If you carry clean materials, you want a finish that does not sound like an empty container.
The side frames are always made of 12/10 galvanised automotive steel, rib-reinforced and perforated so you can hang holders on them. For the front panel you choose: the same steel, or 9 mm birch plywood with a grey phenolic coating that keeps moisture out.
Did you know the side frames are perforated? Cup holders, document holders and mat clamps click straight onto them, without drilling.
My floor and walls are already in place
Your load space is closed all round without extra holes
That is exactly why this part exists. A floor plate stops at the wheel arch and a wall panel runs above it. The curve itself stays uncovered, and that is the very spot that takes the most punishment.
Wheel arch protection closes that gap. It clicks into the floor with inserted corner connectors and is fitted concealed. So you see no screws, and you drill nothing extra into your bodywork. Combine it with floor and wall lining and your load space is closed all round.
Did you know the fixing is concealed? No visible screws in your lining, and it comes out just as easily.

All your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about wheel arch protection for your van
What does wheel arch protection for my van cost?
The price depends on three factors: the make and model of your van, whether you choose a steel or a wooden front panel, and whether you have the protection fitted on its own or together with floor and wall lining. You get a made-to-measure quote, free and with no obligation, with no surprises afterwards.
Will wheel arch protection fit my make and model?
Almost certainly. Wheel arch protection for your van is made per vehicle: the side frames and the front panel are cut to the wheel arch of your vehicle, from a compact L1H1 to a large L3H3. If your make is not in the list above, just ask us: we fit out nearly every make and model.
Do I lose load space because of the wheel arch protection?
Hardly. The protection follows the shape of the wheel arch that sticks out anyway. What you gain is bigger: the top panel becomes a work surface and the space underneath becomes usable, whereas today you load around that bump.
Steel or wood: which should I choose?
If you carry stone, metal or heavy tools, take the steel front panel: it gives way to nothing. If you carry cleaner materials or want a quieter finish, 9 mm birch plywood with phenolic coating is the better choice. The side frames are made of steel in both cases.
Can I secure things to it?
Yes. The top panel has an anti-slip mat. If there is a lashing rail in your side wall, you can secure a ladder or a hand truck to it with a strap. You hang your holders on the perforated side frames without drilling.
Does anything have to be drilled into my bodywork?
No. The wheel arch protection clicks into the floor with inserted corner connectors and is fixed concealed. You see no screws, and your bodywork stays untouched.
Can it be added if my floor and walls are already in place?
Yes, and that is exactly the case it was designed for. Floor and wall panels leave the wheel arch uncovered. The protection closes that gap, even years after the first fit-out.
How long does fitting take?
We fit wheel arch protection together with the rest of your fit-out, usually within the same working day. If it is added separately, your van is generally ready the same day.
How do I clean the wheel arch protection?
With water and an ordinary cleaner. The steel front panel and the side frames are coated, and the phenolic coating on the wooden panel stops dirt and moisture from soaking into the wood.
