Mercedes Vito/V-class W447 2014- Hood Deflector EuroCap

EuroCap hood deflector — a "bug shield" made of black polycarbonate for Mercedes Vito and V-Class W447 from 2014. It mounts to the front edge of the hood with clips or screws from the installation kit that comes with the deflector, and protects the hood from chips and insects.

Why you need a bug shield on the Vito W447

The front edge of the van’s hood is the first to meet stones, sand, and insects from vehicles ahead. The deflector changes the airflow over the hood and takes the impacts on itself, so there are fewer chips in the paint and fewer insect marks on the windshield. Black polycarbonate withstands small-stone impacts and matches the black front-end details of the W447.

Which vehicles it fits

The deflector is designed for Mercedes Vito and V-Class in the W447 body, produced from 2014. Two things are worth checking before ordering:

• 2015 model year vehicles. In that year, both the Vito W639 and the new W447 can be found on the road. Identify the generation by the front end and headlights, not by the year in the registration; the W639 requires a different deflector.
• Replaced hood. If a styling kit with a new hood was installed on the vehicle, match the deflector to the hood that is actually fitted — the easiest way is to send the manager a photo of the front end.

What’s in the box and how to install

In the box: the hood deflector itself and an installation kit. The installation type per the listing is clips or screws: the deflector is fixed to the hood edge with the supplied fasteners, so you don’t need to drill the hood, and you can install the bug shield yourself in a few minutes. Before installation, wash the hood edge, test-fit the deflector, and only then tighten the fasteners evenly across the full width.

A clear protective film is tightly adhered to the new deflector. It may have scratches or minor damage after transportation — this is normal: once the film is removed, the deflector surface is new. Remove the film after installation so you don’t scratch the part during fitting. If you don’t want to do it yourself, the deflector can be installed at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will tell you the nearest one.

What to pair it with

• Window deflectors (2 pcs, HIC) for the front doors — together with the bug shield they give a cohesive look.
• From the same manufacturer — rear bumper protector EuroCap and sill covers EuroCap; other brand items — on the EuroCap page.
• All options for this body — in the Vito W447 hood deflectors section and on the Mercedes Vito and V-Class W447 tuning page.
