Opel Vivaro 2001–2015 Fender flares (4 pcs, black)

Description

Wheel arch trims for Opel Vivaro 2001–2015 (Vivaro A) — a set of four black trims for the outer edge of the arches. On the page there are four options — body years × material: 2001–2007 (pre-facelift) or 2007–2015 (facelift), made of black ABS plastic by Digital Designs to be installed with windshield adhesive/sealant, or black stainless steel by Max chrome with self-adhesive backing. The 2001–2007 and 2007–2015 options are not interchangeable: the facelift has a different front bumper and longer trims.

What the “Choose material” selection means

• Years — 2001–2007 or 2007–2015. This is the Vivaro A body version, not the registration year. In 2007 the van received a new front end and the arch cutouts near the front bumper changed, so the trims for the two versions differ in shape and length: one pair in the plastic sets is the same, the other pair in the facelift is longer. The A–D dimensions are convenient to check with a tape measure against your own arch.
• Black plastic. Matte black ABS plastic trims by Digital Designs for installation with windshield adhesive/sealant, which is purchased separately — the set includes only four trims. The plastic can be painted: buyers in reviews write that they painted them to match the car color.
• Black metal. Black stainless steel trims by Max chrome with adhesive backing already applied: easier to install, no paint required, do not rust. The set is also for four arches with the split into 2001–2007 and 2007–2015.

The price and dispatch time are different for each option — visible after selecting the option in the product card.

Which option fits a 2007 Vivaro

2007 is a transition year: vehicles were sold with both the old and the new front end, so the year in the documents does not determine the option. On the facelift Vivaro the turn signal is integrated into a single headlamp, on the pre-facelift it is separate or in the bumper. The photos in the product card show both versions — the first corresponds to the 2001–2007 body, the second to the 2007–2015 facelift; choose the one that matches your vehicle, and if in doubt send the manager a photo of the front end. There are no options for short or long wheelbase: one arch set fits both wheelbases.

How to install Vivaro arch trims

No drilling into the body is needed. The arch edge is washed, wax and polish are removed, it is degreased and dried; install in warmth and dryness. Rust on the edge is treated before installation — the trim will cover the area but will not stop corrosion underneath it. Plastic trims are set on adhesive/sealant and fixed until it grabs, metal ones — peel off the film and press firmly. There are two videos on the page: installation with windshield adhesive and with double-sided tape.

These are trims, not inner fender liners or fender flares

This part is called differently — arches, arch trims, fender trims, fenders, flares, wideners. Technically these are exterior trims with a small lip: they follow the contour of the factory arch and protect its edge from scuffs and chips, but they do not move the arch outward beyond the wheel like flares, and they do not protect the inner wheel well like inner fender liners. Other versions are in the section arch trims and flares, chrome ones — in the section chrome arch trims.

For Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar and what to pair them with

Vivaro A is a twin of Renault Trafic II and Nissan Primastar; the same sets are on the pages of these models: arch trims for Renault Trafic 2001–2015 and arch trims for Nissan Primastar 2002–2014 — with the same split into 2001–2007 and 2007–2015. Together with the arches, people buy front and rear mud flaps, a winter grille cover 2001–2007 or 2007–2015 and a EuroCap hood deflector. All arch trims for the model — in the section arch trims for Opel Vivaro 2001–2015.
