OEM Tailgate Bike-Rack - available in black

[claudejnr]

I couldn’t find another post on this yet. I’ve seen a few T6s recently with the version 2 of the bike rack but in black. They look rad and would go nicely camo with my black T6.

AFAIK, V2 is the one with the wider frame.
Here it is in silver:

I want it in black, but I can’t find it anywhere. Any pointers on where I can buy one, or is powder coating the only way to go, as I see some have done this.

VW dont make them in black so you need to find someone who is stripping and powder coating them for resale
Only person i can think of is @MAT@VWT5UPGRADES

Says out of stock but you could contact and ask

See this thread:

Bike Rack - powder-coated black

Hey all, not sure if anyone else has considered this but basically I think the new rack looks a bit cheap and dodgy, however if powder coated it could be improved? Any ideas on the cost of powder coating plus recommended places? Also i'd like a spoiler and would not mind having the rack on...

Hi. Yeah like that, but the other model. Guess ether would do. Did you get that one coated yourself?

 

[Steve Willo]

Yes, used a local company, they stripped it and reassembled.
Made a very good job, where are you based?

Sussex. I’ve just bought an original one, and will look for a local firm that can do it. Cheers.

Cambridge Campervans provided mine. They get it stripped down and powder coated. Roughly £800

I have a VW T6 Tailgate bike rack (not powder coated), Version 2, 2 weeks old, used once. Only selling because the tailgate won't open fully with the (Skyline Aurora) pop top up!

How much and have you got a pic?

Hi Jog, uploaded pic, I paid £569.99, from Vanstyle, ideally £500, so I can get the Version 1, which doesn't sit so proud of the roof.

£200 to strip and spray black. Already had the v2 rack so didn’t cost a lot to go black. Looks 100% better IMO. My local dealer did it all for me. Very helpful.

Hi there
May I ask who did it for you ? Did they strip it down and rebuild for you ?
