Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mini Cooper Countryman (2011-2016) I generation (R60) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mini Cooper Countryman (2011-2016) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine, oil pan, and gearbox, ensuring that these critical components remain safe from damage caused by road debris and impact. With its durable construction, the skid plate is designed to withstand harsh conditions, providing peace of mind while driving.
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 your radiator, gearbox, and engine. The construction features reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, which help manage airflow and maintain optimal temperatures. Additionally, service access openings are included for convenient maintenance, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the entire protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring the longevity of your vehicle's essential components. Its installation is straightforward, mounting securely to factory points without the need for drilling or welding. This not only enhances mechanical protection but also reduces the risk of corrosion while improving the vehicle's 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.
