Protect your Ford C-Max (2010-2019) II generation (С344) with the durable Kolchuga® skid plate, made from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, ensuring that critical components remain safe from harsh road conditions. Designed to absorb impacts, it effectively safeguards against potential damage from rocks, ice, and other obstacles on 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 |
This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring maximum protection against road hazards. It features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal cooling. Additionally, some models include service access openings that facilitate quick oil changes without needing to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection is engineered to withstand impacts from rocks, dirt, and curbs, effectively preventing damage to your vehicle's underbody. Its installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This not only enhances mechanical protection but also contributes to reduced corrosion and improved aerodynamics.
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.
