The medium sized Ford Transit Custom has topped the new van sales lists in the UK for a decade – for good reasons. A driveable size combined with a spacious interior, a good level of driver comfort and a pleasing design makes the Custom a very well-regarded all-rounder. At Vanimal, we stock and deliver a great range of accessories and aftermarket upgrades made for all versions of the Transit Custom van, and here are our top-rated bespoke products … and why.
Roof racks
Don’t waste the potentially valuable cargo space on top of your van – expand its functionality with a roof carrying system. Rails are often fitted as standard, depending on which model of Transit Custom you have; these run from front to back, and cross bars fit across the rails from side to side. There are also complete platform type roof rack kits available, but whether its ladders, canoes or bikes you need to move, make it easy and safe with a custom-fit set. Many of our Vanimal roof systems can be locked for security and can be quickly removed if needed. Browse Vanimal bespoke roof racks for the Transit Custom here.
Racking systems
Any Transit Custom which needs to transport tools or equipment would benefit from a tailor-made racking system, such as the comprehensive Vanimal range. The availability of well-made practical, lightweight and cost-effective interior storage is better than ever - Transit drivers don’t need to spend a small fortune on ill-fitting rattling racks any longer. Keeping everything organised and safely secured in place not only protects it all, but maximises space usage – and even specialist requirements are catered for, such as glass sheet transport and sealant tube storage.

Tailored seat covers
Seat covers may not strike anyone as the most exciting off add-ons to a new Transit Custom, but they are on the essentials list for good reason. Firstly, the difference between truly tailor-made seat covers and the universal kind is immense, not only in terms of comfort (no sitting on lumpy wrinkles or constant readjusting), but in coverage and practicality. A good set of well cut washable, waterproof seat covers will earn their keep within weeks and keep interiors well protected from grime and grit for years – to find your set click here.
Tow bars
Similar to roof racks, a tow bar will increase your van’s capabilities for cargo transportation, and it is equally important to invest in one which is compatible with your van. Some of the available types are even detachable, so the tow ball can be quickly taken off when not required, and may or not may be supplied a wiring kit. For obvious safety reasons, careful fitting is a must, so consider a professional installation for this van highly useful upgrade.

Alloy wheels
If you want to turn heads with your wheels, there really isn’t any bigger change-up than a set of exceptional alloys. Once only an option for luxury cars, now this level of style and distinction is made just for Transit Custom owners by Predator, in a selection of bold multi-spoke designs. Finished in black with hard-wearing lacquer top coats, they are built for tough Transit Custom service. Browse Vanimal bespoke alloys for the Transit Custom here.
Side steps
Side steps are a dual-purpose product of immense practicality and minimal investment – hence they are on this list of best accessories. Not only do they protect the sides of the vehicle from impact damage, they provide a step up when reaching to the roof. All our Vanimal range of side steps and bars made just for the Ford Transit include textured tread plates for better grip. Check them out here.
Roller drawer and floor system
Only recently available for vans, this combined heavy-duty twin drawer with sliding tray system is an essential piece of kit for anyone with valuable or delicate cargo. Opening smoothly on rollers, the drawers slide out for easy access and are capable of holding a hefty 100kg each. On top of that is the rubber coated sliding floor, providing a useful work surface area. The drawers are lockable for peace of mind. Check it out here.
Auxiliary lighting
For use when off the beaten track or when conditions are poor, auxiliary lighting is a boon for safer navigation. Modern LED light bars are technologically advanced, with tough housing components and powerful long-lasting bulbs that cast the optimum range of medium and long-range light. They also look awesome even when switched off – as you can see from our selection of UK-made Lazer Lamps integration kits here.
Grille upgrades
Our striking honeycomb mesh grille upgrades are perennial best sellers – for a small price, they totally transform the front end of your Transit Custom to something stand-out special. Made from an automotive grade ABS finished in gloss black coating, the fact that they are straightforward to fit and contain integrated LEDs also make them a great investment. Available in gloss black and matte black finish.
Front bars
This category is quite a wide one, as it encompasses spoiler and A bars, with or without axel plates or bar sections, in either matt black or polished stainless steel – but the purpose of all is protection and added front end customisation. In addition to impacts, the front of the vehicle is more vulnerable to debris kicked up from other road users or the terrain, so a front bar is a wise choice for damage limitation. Using existing bolts pre-formed in the chassis, they can be fitted without using the drill in a matter of minutes. Browse Vanimal range of high-quality front bars for the Transit Custom, click here.
