Protect your Chevrolet Cruze (2008-2011) I generation (J300) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable 2 mm steel. This protection acts as a robust shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding critical components from damaging impacts. Designed for optimal performance, Kolchuga® protection ensures that your vehicle remains resilient against the toughest road conditions.
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 |
The skid plate covers the engine and gearbox areas, providing comprehensive protection against external threats. Its construction includes features such as reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings that maintain optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, many models come with service access openings for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
This Kolchuga® skid plate protects against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, preventing costly damage to your vehicle's critical components. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points without the need for drilling or welding. This ensures a secure fit while maintaining the vehicle's integrity.
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.
