flarespace uk dealer

Back in 2019 when i purchased my first Sprinter to transform i knew this was a product that featureD HIGHLY ON MY LIST OF PRIORITIES. by increasing the width of the rear of the van givES the ability to ‘sleep sideways’ in a mwb chassis was a game changer for mE. it meant i would be able to increase the living area by 700mm in length and still retain a fixed bed set up big enough to sleep 2 adults. fast forward to today and i’d say ape adventure vans are the biggest uk advocate for the flarespace product. NOW, of course there are similar products AVAILABLE these DAYS WHICH ARE cheaper and easier to get hold of in the UK BUT NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE DESIGN AND QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL US MADE PRODUCT. today ape adventure vans as a business can proudly say THEY ARE THE number one official uk distributor and installer for the flarespace products.

my knowledge of the product.

SO if you take a UK Mercedes Sprinter with the sliding door on the nearside you can fit 2 regular depth flares. this will give you an east to west ( bed length ) dimension of approx 193 cm . if you have a van with the sliding door on the offside this will allow the use of the flarespace extended flare on the nearside coupled with a regular flare on the offside giving you a bed length of approx 200cm.

to allow cross venting in the summer months i choose to fit at least one of the AVAILABLE window options .these come in the form of a sliding or bottom open awning window. the windows sit perfectly into a tailored recess for flush factory finish not stuck on the surface like an after thought.

the fit and finish is by far the best i have seen when COMPARED with products available from other companies. when pressed against the vehicle body, the flarespace flares are contoured to fit the rear panel APERTURE with accuracy. no slinging a ratchet strap over the body and praying for them to hold shape ! !

let’s address the elephant in the room (cost)

flarespace is a premium product and a large premium product that is manufactured and shipped from the United States so UNFORTUNATELY does carry a price tag to match when importing into the Uk. with that said, in most cases this modification is one of the biggest modifications you would probably carry out on your pride and joy and for me is worth spending extra in this area to achieve the best results possible.

let’s break it down..

Example of what a package cost will look like

  • 1 Pair of flarespace regular depth with adhesive

  • 1 pair of internal trim rings (a god send when trimming out your interior )

  • 1 sliding bunk window with magnetic insulated cover

    £2860 including vat and import duty

  • international shipping £820 (variable)

  • painting £480

  • installation at ape hq £480 (no built out or partly built out vans only empty panel vans)
