Opel Vivaro 2001–2015 Winter lower cover (under the license plate)

Description

The winter lower cover under the number plate for Opel Vivaro A 2001–2015 closes the lower grille of the front bumper under the license plate so that in winter the radiator is less exposed to cold airflow and the engine warms up faster. The variant is chosen by two features: the surface (matte ABS plastic or glossy polystyrene) and the vehicle years — pre-facelift 2001–2007 or facelift 2007–2014.

Which variant to choose: years and finish

The parameter on the page is called “Choose shade and vehicle year”. The year here means the bumper shape, not the date in the registration documents: the grilles on pre-facelift and facelift Vivaro A are different, and the early cover will not fit the later bumper.

The price of each variant is visible after selection. The color of all covers is black; the set includes the cover itself and the mounting hardware.

How to tell pre-facelift from facelift Vivaro A

On the facelift Vivaro, the indicator is built into the one-piece headlamp; on the pre-facelift it is separate or located in the bumper. The trickiest vehicles are from 2006–2007, when the front end was changing: in that case, compare not the year but the actual bumper and grille, or send the manager a photo of the front end. The same applies to vehicles that have already had a bumper from another version installed.

How to install and when to remove

The cover is installed over the factory lower grille on hooks, without removing the bumper and without drilling. Before installation, wash the grille so that sand under the cover does not scratch the plastic. It is removed just as easily — simply unhook the hooks. If a hook sits tight, it can be slightly bent to match your grille.

According to observations by DD Tuning, at −5 °C the engine without the winter cover warmed up only to 67 °C, while with the cover it reached the operating 90 °C. A warmer engine heats the cabin faster. At the same time, during thaws, on long climbs, and with a full load, monitor the temperature, and when it becomes consistently warmer — it’s better to remove the cover.

Full winter set for Vivaro

On the front end of Vivaro A, winter covers are installed in three zones, and customers often take all three together:

• upper — for the radiator grille: for 2001–2007 or for 2007–2015 (V1);
• middle — above the license plate;
• lower — under the plate, this cover.

All variants are collected in the section winter covers Opel Vivaro 2001–2015, other accessories — on the page tuning Opel Vivaro 2001–2015.

The description was prepared with the help of AI based on the analysis of more than 1 million phone calls between DD Tuning managers and customers and the company’s knowledge base. We collected the questions customers ask most often and answers verified in practice.
