Kolchuga® skid plates shield your vehicle from impacts caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. This mechanical protection not only reduces the risk of puncturing critical components but also minimizes corrosion by keeping dirt and moisture at bay. Installation is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points without any need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
