Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda Accord (2017-2024) X generation (CV) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda Accord (2017-2024) X generation with the Kolchuga® skid plate, available in two robust materials: 2 mm thick steel or a premium 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and oil pan, guarding these vital components against impacts from below. Ensure your vehicle's longevity with a shield designed to withstand the rigors of the road.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers critical areas, including the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction features additional reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings to maintain optimal airflow and temperature regulation. Service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against road hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, and curbs. Its installation provides mechanical protection, reduces corrosion risk, and improves aerodynamics. The shield mounts directly to the factory points, requiring no 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.
