Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Engineered to absorb impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, this skid plate significantly reduces the risk of damage to your vehicle's vital components. The mechanical shield not only protects against direct hits but also minimizes the ingress of dirt and moisture, extending the life of your underbody components. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory mounting points with no drilling required.
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.
