A complete Mercedes Vito VIP interior for our French client, with burgundy seating, cabin screens, illuminated ceiling and an adapted Mercedes S 500 dashboard.
For our French client’s Mercedes Vito, purchased in Luxembourg, we completed an interior conversion covering both the cockpit and the passenger cabin. Burgundy upholstery, black surfaces, screens, a distinctive ceiling and bespoke side panels were developed as parts of one design. The adapted Mercedes S 500 dashboard is a prominent feature, while the project as a whole is a complete Mercedes Vito VIP interior conversion.
A complete interior for our French client’s Mercedes Vito
The work extended from the front console to the passenger seating, ceiling, door trims and side panels. Bringing these areas together was central to the finished appearance. Burgundy and black provide a consistent colour scheme throughout the vehicle, complemented by glossy surfaces and metallic-look edging.
The Luxembourg registration reflects where the client purchased the vehicle. The customer is French, so this vehicle forms part of our France customer projects. The exterior photograph shows registration JL 3777, while the interior gallery documents the cockpit and passenger cabin of this same conversion.
The Mercedes S 500 dashboard adaptation
A portrait-format screen and redesigned centre console
One of the project’s defining elements is the adaptation of a Mercedes S 500 dashboard to the Vito’s front cabin. A large vertical screen sits within a reworked console, alongside striped gloss trim and the upper air-vent arrangement. The console’s lines continue through the front seating area, giving the cockpit a coordinated appearance.
The colours around the steering wheel, front seats and door trims complement this layout. The dashboard therefore belongs to a wider interior treatment: its shape, screen position and surrounding finishes connect with the rest of the vehicle. The front cabin photographs show both the overall arrangement and the closer details of the console.
Passenger screens and the facing seating arrangement
A wide display within the passenger cabin
A wide screen is positioned at the front of the passenger area. Together with the vertical cockpit display, it creates two distinct screen locations within the interior. Visible control panels on the armrests and a screen set into the seating group’s centre console add further detail to the cabin.
Two individual high-backed seats face the rear seating group. This arrangement gives the passenger area a lounge-like character, with an open space between the seats. The side consoles frame that central area rather than interrupting its visual continuity. Wide-angle photographs in the gallery show how the seats, ceiling and screens relate to each other.
Burgundy upholstery, stitching and armrests
Vertical stitching and perforated upholstery sections create texture within the burgundy colour scheme. Black armrests and metallic-look surrounds provide contrast, while the shaped headrests complete the individual seats. The facing seating group repeats the same colours and stitching direction, bringing the two ends of the passenger cabin together.
An illuminated ceiling and ambient lighting
The large illuminated ceiling is a central feature of the passenger compartment. Its broad light surface and decorative centre section are framed by the dark ceiling surround. This contrast gives the upper part of the cabin a clear shape and changes the way the burgundy seating and side panels are seen.
Light lines along the side panels continue the design into the lower part of the cabin. The ceiling, door trims, consoles and seating therefore form a connected visual composition. Rather than relying on one decorative component, the interior combines colour, surface treatment and lighting throughout the space.
Bespoke side panels, consoles and finishing details
The side panels combine burgundy trim, glossy black sections, cupholders and metallic-look speaker grilles. Their contours follow the lighting lines, while the door interiors carry the design into the front of the vehicle. With the doors open, the relationship between the cockpit and passenger cabin remains visible.
A dark floor and black lower surfaces provide a backdrop for the upholstered areas. Looking at the console, seats, ceiling and panel photographs together shows the full scope of the work. This is a complete interior project in which the individual parts contribute to a consistent finished cabin.
Project gallery and further VIP conversion options
A short overview and the project photographs are also available in our French client Mercedes Vito reference. If you are considering your own conversion, our VIP vehicle design and conversion guide explains how the different areas of an interior can be planned together.
For clients considering a different vehicle, we also offer Mercedes Sprinter VIP conversion and Hyundai Staria VIP design. Seating layouts, screen positions and interior finishes are developed separately for each model and the client’s requirements.
