On the Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards, the rear bumper sits exactly where toolboxes, machines, parcels and transport containers are regularly loaded and unloaded during the working day. It only takes occasional contact with the loading edge for scratches and signs of use to gradually appear on an otherwise clean bumper.
The vehicle-specific aluminium rear bumper protector for the Opel Vivaro C covers this particularly exposed area of the rear bumper. It can be fitted as preventive protection while the bumper is still in good condition or used to conceal existing scratches and damage within the area covered by the protector.
All available versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium and feature a folded edge. There are six different surface finishes to choose from – ranging from classic aluminium chequer plate and silver or black anodised versions to a brushed stainless-steel look and anodised designs with machined grooves.
Does the aluminium bumper protector fit my Opel Vivaro C?
In short: The rear bumper protector is designed for the Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards. It is made from 1.5 mm aluminium, features a folded edge and is attached using special adhesive tape applied to the rear. No drilling or screws are required. Six different aluminium finishes also allow you to choose a version that suits the desired appearance of your vehicle.
When the loading edge is used every working day
A commercially used Vivaro C is often loaded and unloaded more than just once in the morning and once again at the end of the day. Especially in trade, service and delivery vehicles, the cargo area may be opened several times throughout the working day. Tools come out, materials go in, machines are moved and transport containers regularly change position.
The rear bumper is located directly in this working area. Heavy or bulky items cannot always be lifted completely clear of the loading edge. If cargo comes into contact with the bumper, scratches and other signs of use can develop over time.
The aluminium loading sill protector covers this exposed area and provides an additional protective layer between the cargo and the bumper.
For trade, service, installation and delivery vehicles
The bumper protector is particularly useful for Opel Vivaro C vans whose cargo areas are used regularly. Typical applications include:
-
Trade vehicles carrying toolboxes, machines and consumable materials
-
Service vans with equipment that changes regularly
-
Installation vehicles carrying tools, components and working materials
-
Delivery vans that are frequently loaded and unloaded
-
Commercial vehicles where the rear loading edge is used every day
The more frequently cargo is moved across the rear loading area, the more useful it can be to protect this exposed part of the bumper from direct contact.
Protect a good bumper or conceal existing scratches?
Both are possible. The aluminium bumper protector can be used as a preventive measure or fitted to a vehicle that has already spent some time at work.
Two ways to use the rear bumper protector
| Situation |
Purpose of the protector |
| Bumper still in good condition |
The exposed area receives additional protection during loading and unloading. |
| Existing signs of use |
Scratches or damage within the covered area can be concealed underneath the aluminium protector. |
The second option can be particularly interesting on an older working vehicle: an unattractive bumper does not necessarily need to be replaced simply because it already shows signs of everyday use.
Six aluminium finishes for the Opel Vivaro C
With this bumper protector, the choice is not limited to function alone. All available versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium; the main difference is the design and finish of the visible surface.

The chequer plate versions provide the classic technical appearance associated with commercial vehicles. For a more understated design, you can choose the brushed stainless-steel look or one of the silver or black anodised versions with machined grooves.
Chequer plate, stainless-steel look or machined grooves?
As all six versions are manufactured from 1.5 mm aluminium, the choice can primarily be based on the appearance you prefer for your Vivaro C.
Aluminium chequer plate is a natural choice for a functional, technical commercial vehicle appearance. The silver or black anodised versions combine the characteristic chequer plate structure with a different surface finish.
The brushed stainless-steel look offers a more understated appearance while the protector itself remains aluminium. The silver and black anodised versions with machined grooves combine a smoother-looking base surface with their own distinctive design.
Folded edge for additional coverage around the loading sill
The upper surface of the bumper is not the only area exposed during loading and unloading. When transport containers, toolboxes or other cargo are pulled out or lowered into the vehicle, the adjoining edge can also be hit.
For this reason, the bumper protector for the Opel Vivaro C is manufactured with a folded edge. The aluminium cover does not simply end on the upper surface but continues over the adjoining section of the loading edge, extending the area that is covered.
Self-adhesive installation without drilling or screws
A high-quality special adhesive tape is applied to the rear of the bumper protector. The aluminium protector is bonded directly to the intended area of the rear bumper.
No drilling or screws are required for installation.
Important before installation:
Please read the installation instructions under “Technical Details” before fitting the protector and follow the specified requirements during installation.

Practical tip: Protect the loading edge before it becomes a record of every working day
On a Vivaro C that works every day, the loading edge can eventually provide a fairly accurate record of how often the van has been loaded and unloaded. 😄 If you would rather not read that story on the rear bumper, fitting the protector early is a sensible option.
But it is not automatically too late if the vehicle has already been in service for some time. If existing scratches and signs of use are located within the covered area, they can be concealed underneath the aluminium. At the same time, this area receives additional protection during future loading and unloading.

Aluminium bumper protection for everyday work with the Vivaro C
If your Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards is regularly loaded and unloaded, the rear loading edge will inevitably see plenty of everyday use.
