Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Bentley Bentayga (2018-) I generation (W12) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Bentley Bentayga (2018-) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to safeguard your engine, oil pan, and transmission. This robust protection is available in two material options: a durable 2 mm thick steel or a lightweight 3 mm thick AluOx® aluminum. Acting as a mechanical shield, it defends your critical components against potential damage from road hazards, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.
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 radiator, gearbox, and engine. Its design features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption while ventilation openings help maintain optimal temperatures. Service access openings are included for convenient maintenance, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate is engineered to absorb impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, effectively protecting your engine and other vital components. By reducing the risk of damage, it helps to extend the life of your vehicle and minimize repair costs. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the 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.
