Mercedes Sprinter W906 2006–2018 Hood Deflector 2013+ (V1, EuroCap)

Description

EuroCap V1 hood deflector — a black polycarbonate bug shield for the front edge of the hood for Mercedes Sprinter W906 after the facelift, i.e., for 2013–2018 vehicles; it does not fit the pre-facelift W906 2006–2013 and it does not fit the Sprinter W907/W910 from 2018. It is mounted with clips or screws; the installation kit is already in the box; manufacturer — EuroCap (Turkey). The visor takes hits from insects, sand, and small gravel and reduces the risk of chips on the hood edge, although, like any deflector, it does not protect the entire hood and windshield completely.

Which Sprinter it fits

The most important part in the name is the “2013+” marking. In 2013, the Sprinter W906 received a facelift: the headlights, the grille, and the entire front end changed. Therefore, hood deflectors for early and late vehicles of the same body are not interchangeable, even though the model is called the same.

Vehicles made in 2013 and 2018 can belong to different versions, so ориентируйтеся not only by the year, but also by the look of the front end: compare your car’s headlights and grille with the photos on the page — there the deflector is shown on a facelift W906. This is especially important if the front end has already been replaced: what matters is the actual shape of the hood and headlights, not the year in the registration. If you are unsure, send the manager a front photo of the vehicle.

Material and choosing between versions

The manufacturer is the Turkish company EuroCap; the material is polycarbonate. This is a flexible impact-resistant plastic that handles small stone hits well, which is why it is used for hood deflectors. Color — black; the visor matches the black front-end plastics of the W906 and looks equally appropriate on a white, silver, or dark body.

For the facelift W906 there are several bug shields in the catalog, and the choice between them is primarily a matter of appearance and coverage: a short visor covers the center of the hood between the headlights, while a longer one has protruding “ears” that reach the headlights. The V2 version from the same EuroCap has a different shape, and the HIC 2013–2018 deflector is made by a Taiwanese manufacturer. Compare in the photos on their pages which part of the edge each one covers and how it looks on the vehicle; V1 is a proven option that buyers in reviews note for accurate fit and easy installation. If you also plan wind deflectors and want a close shade, choose products from the same brand.

Package contents and installation

In the box — the deflector and the installation kit, so you do not need to buy fasteners separately. Installation type — clips or screws: the visor is held mechanically, not on double-sided tape. Before installation, it is worth washing and drying the hood edge so that no sand remains under the part. The page has a hood deflector installation video — watch it in advance to understand the sequence of actions. Evaluate the fit when all fasteners from the kit are already tightened, and after installation check that the hood closes without effort and the visor does not rub anywhere. Later, during washing, from time to time rinse the space between the deflector and the hood so that sand and dirt do not accumulate there.

Please note: on a new deflector there is a tightly applied transparent protective film. It may have small scratches or scuffs from packing and transportation — this is not a product defect. After removing the film, the surface of the deflector is absolutely new.

What to pair it with

Together with the bug shield for the facelift W906, people often buy HIC wind deflectors, Premium Begel mud flaps, chrome grille trims for the 2013 version↗ and winter grille cover V1 (2013↗). All hood deflectors for this body are collected in the section Sprinter W906 hood deflectors, and wind deflectors and visors — in the general section of Sprinter W906 deflectors.
