On the VW Caddy 5 and Caddy 5 Maxi from 2020 onwards, the rear bumper is positioned exactly where toolboxes, transport containers, parcels and other cargo can easily make contact during everyday loading and unloading. Especially on regularly used commercial vehicles, scratches and visible signs of use can gradually develop around the loading edge.
The vehicle-specific aluminium rear bumper protector for VW Caddy 5 and Caddy 5 Maxi covers this exposed section of the rear bumper. It can therefore be fitted early to protect a bumper that is still in good condition. At the same time, the protector can also be used to conceal existing scratches or damage located within the area it covers.
All available versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium and feature a folded edge. Six different surface finishes are available, including classic aluminium chequer plate, silver or black anodised versions, a brushed stainless-steel look and anodised aluminium with machined grooves.
Which bumper protector fits the VW Caddy 5 and Caddy 5 Maxi?
In short: This aluminium rear bumper protector is designed for the VW Caddy 5 and VW Caddy 5 Maxi from 2020 onwards. All six versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium, feature a folded edge and are attached using special adhesive tape applied to the rear. No drilling or screws are required.
Protect the loading edge before everyday work leaves its mark
Especially on a newer Caddy, it makes sense to consider heavily used areas of the vehicle before visible damage appears. The rear bumper is one of these areas: it sits directly below the cargo-area entrance and therefore exactly where cargo is regularly moved in and out of the vehicle.
Toolboxes, machines, transport containers and other items can touch the bumper when they are lifted, lowered or pulled out of the cargo area. The aluminium loading sill protector covers this exposed section and provides an additional protective surface over the bumper underneath.
This is particularly useful when the Caddy 5 is used as a trade van, service vehicle, installation vehicle or for regular transport work.
Preventive protection or covering existing scratches?
The bumper protector can be useful in both situations. If the bumper is still in good condition, the main benefit is covering the heavily used area before everyday loading and unloading leaves visible marks. If the Caddy has already been in service for some time, existing signs of use within the covered area can be concealed underneath the aluminium.

Caddy 5 or Caddy 5 Maxi – the loading edge is always part of the job
Whether you drive the standard Caddy 5 or the Caddy 5 Maxi, the loading edge becomes one of the most frequently used areas as soon as the rear of the vehicle is regularly used for loading and unloading.
It does not always take a major impact to leave marks. Many signs of use develop through small, repeated contacts during everyday work – a toolbox is pulled out, a transport container is briefly placed on the edge or a bulky item touches the bumper while being loaded.
The bumper protector is designed for exactly this area and covers the relevant section of the rear bumper with a vehicle-specific aluminium surface.
Six aluminium finishes for VW Caddy 5 and Caddy 5 Maxi
In addition to protecting the loading edge, you can also choose the appearance of the protector. All six versions are made from 1.5 mm aluminium; the difference lies in the design and finish of the visible surface.

Which finish suits the Caddy 5?
As all available versions are manufactured from 1.5 mm aluminium, the choice can primarily be based on the appearance you prefer.
Classic aluminium chequer plate provides a functional, technical appearance. If you prefer the same characteristic structure with a different surface finish, silver anodised and black anodised chequer plate versions are also available.
For a more understated appearance, there is brushed aluminium with a stainless-steel look. Alternatively, matt silver anodised and black anodised aluminium versions with machined grooves are available.
This means the bumper protector can be selected not only for its function but also to suit the desired appearance of the rear of your Caddy 5 or Caddy 5 Maxi.
Folded edge for additional coverage around the loading sill
During loading and unloading, cargo can come into contact not only with the upper bumper surface but also with the adjoining edge. This is particularly relevant when items are lifted, lowered or pulled out of the vehicle.
For this reason, the bumper protector features 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 covered by the protector.
Self-adhesive installation without drilling or screws
A high-quality self-adhesive special tape is applied to the rear of the bumper protector. This is used to attach the aluminium cover 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” completely before fitting the protector and follow the specified requirements during installation.

Practical tip: The best loading mark is the one that never appears
On a new or well-maintained Caddy 5, the bumper protector is particularly useful before the first typical signs of everyday work start to appear. After all, a toolbox rarely stops to consider whether the bumper underneath still looks good. 😄
If the aluminium protector is fitted early, it covers the particularly exposed section of the bumper during future loading and unloading.
And if your Caddy has already completed a few working days, it is not necessarily too late: existing signs of use within the covered area can be concealed underneath the bumper protector.
