For the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes Citan from 2014 to 2020, the rear loading area is often used far more frequently than you might think. Toolboxes, parcels, spare parts and working materials are quickly taken out and loaded back into the vehicle. Over time, these repeated loading operations can leave visible signs of use on the rear bumper.
The vehicle-specific aluminium rear bumper protector for the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes Citan provides an additional cover for this frequently used area. It can be fitted as preventative protection or retrofitted later to conceal existing scratches and signs of use, provided they are located within the area covered by the protector.
You can choose from six surface finishes, all made from 1.5 mm aluminium. Every version features a folded edge and is attached using the special adhesive tape applied to the rear. No drilling or screws are required.
Which bumper protector fits the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes Citan 2014–2020?
In short: This bumper protector is designed for the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes Citan from 2014 to 2020. All six available versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium and feature a folded edge. Installation is carried out using the special adhesive tape on the rear, with no drilling or screws required.
Many small loading operations repeatedly use the same area
With a compact van, it does not take particularly large or heavy cargo to put the rear bumper area to regular use. For service work, trades or everyday transport tasks, it is often the number of individual loading and unloading operations that adds up over months and years.
Toolboxes are taken out, materials are loaded, spare parts are collected and transport boxes are returned to the vehicle. Throughout these everyday routines, the rear bumper sits directly underneath the loading path.
The 1.5 mm aluminium bumper protector provides an additional cover for this frequently used area.

Preventative protection or a cover for existing signs of use
If the rear bumper is still in good condition, the protector can be fitted early to provide an additional cover for this busy area.
However, a Renault Kangoo or Mercedes Citan from this model period may already have spent many years in daily commercial use. If scratches or other signs of use have already appeared, the aluminium bumper protector can also be retrofitted. Marks located within the covered area are then concealed underneath the aluminium protector.
Six surface finishes in 1.5 mm aluminium
The bumper protector is available in six different versions. Their appearance varies, but every version is made from 1.5 mm aluminium.

Chequer plate, stainless-steel look or machined grooves?
For a classic commercial-vehicle appearance, you can choose between standard aluminium chequer plate and silver or black anodised chequer plate.
For a more understated appearance, there is also a brushed aluminium version with a stainless-steel look. This version is still made from 1.5 mm aluminium – “stainless-steel look” refers only to the appearance of the surface, not to the material itself.
The range is completed by matt silver anodised and black anodised aluminium versions with machined grooves, giving you six different surface designs to choose from.
Folded edge for additional protection
Every available version features a folded edge for additional protection around the loading edge.
This complements the aluminium cover in an area that tools, boxes and other cargo regularly pass during everyday loading and unloading.
Self-adhesive installation without drilling
A high-quality self-adhesive special tape is applied to the rear of the bumper protector. This is used to attach the aluminium protector to the intended area of the bumper.
No drilling or screws are required.
Important before installation:
Please read the installation instructions under “Technical Details” before fitting the protector and follow the requirements stated there.

Practical tip: Frequency matters as much as cargo size
Signs of use around the loading edge are not caused only by particularly heavy or bulky items. With the Kangoo and Citan, it can be the many smaller contacts during everyday work that gradually add up.
A toolbox or transport box that is taken out and loaded back into the vehicle several times a day will pass across the same area countless times over the course of a year. An additional cover for the rear bumper can therefore be useful even when the vehicle mainly carries smaller items.
