Every Detail, Your Choice.

No two Vortex builds are the same. Use our Specification Chooser to mix and match from our full range of exterior and interior upgrades - or talk to our team and we'll help you put together the right spec.

→ Use the Vortex Spec Chooser

Vortex Edition

The Entry Point to Something Special

The Vortex Edition gives your Transit Custom an immediate visual upgrade without overcomplicating things. A front splitter, rear spoiler, and a choice of 18" alloy wheels transform the standard van into something with genuine road presence - all at a price that makes sense for busy businesses.

Ideal for: Tradespeople and business owners who want a smarter, sportier van without the premium price tag.

Key upgrades include: front splitter (gloss black or body colour), high rear spoiler, a choice of 18" alloy wheels, gloss black vent extensions.

Vortex GT

No Compromises. Full Stop.

The Vortex GT is the flagship. A completely redesigned front end - new bumper, integrated splitter, bespoke grille - combined with the full body kit and your choice of premium leather interior with Alcantara centre panels, RS Sport foams, or debossed Vortex logo seats. This is what happens when a Transit Custom stops being a van and starts being a statement.

Ideal for: Enthusiasts and business owners who want the best - and aren't afraid to show it.

Key upgrades include: GT front bumper, splitter and grille, GT rear lower splitter, 18" or 20" alloys, full leather interior with honeycomb or wavy diamond stitch, Alcantara panels, RS Sport foams, Vortex debossed logo.

Vortex Premium

More of Everything.

The Vortex Premium takes the Edition spec and raises it across the board. A premium two-piece front splitter, upgraded 18" or 20" alloys, side bars or running boards, multiple rear spoiler options, premium rear one-piece diffuser and the option to step into a full leather interior make this the sweet spot for buyers who refuse to compromise.

Available in standard wheelbase, long wheelbase, PHEV, and double cab configurations.

Ideal for: Business owners who want a van that works hard and looks the part - or enthusiasts who want the full package without going full GT.

Key upgrades include: two-piece front splitter, 18" or 20" alloy wheels, side bars or running boards, rear spoiler options, rear one-piece diffuser, optional leather interior options with stitching in red, black, white or blue.

What van is the Vortex conversion based on?

All three Vortex editions are built on the Ford Transit Custom, available in standard wheelbase (L1), long wheelbase (L2), PHEV, and double cab configurations.

Can I choose my own spec?

Yes. Use our online Specification Chooser to build your Vortex your way — selecting your wheels, splitters, spoilers, side styling, and interior. Alternatively, call our team and we'll guide you through the options.

How long does a Vortex conversion take?

Most Vortex conversions are completed within around 4 weeks from the point of order. Get in touch early if you have a specific deadline in mind.

Where are you based and do you deliver?

Can I convert a van I already own?

Yes — we've carried out conversions on existing customer vehicles before and are happy to discuss this. That said, most of our Vortex builds are on new vans, so if you're also in the market for a new Transit Custom, we can handle both the vehicle and the conversion in one place. Get in touch and we'll talk through your options.
