Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mazda CX-30 (2019-) I generation (DM) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda CX-30 (2019-) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to provide robust defense for your engine and gearbox. This protection is available in two material options: a durable 2 mm thick steel or a lightweight 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). Think of it as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring that your vehicle's critical components remain safe from damage. With Kolchuga®, you can drive confidently, knowing your underbody is well-guarded against the toughest road hazards.
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 effectively covers critical zones, including the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. Its design features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance durability while allowing for optimal airflow, preventing overheating. Additionally, service access openings facilitate quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection, adding convenience to maintenance.
This protection guards against road hazards such as rocks, ice, and curbs, ensuring that your vehicle remains intact despite harsh conditions. Installing the skid plate enhances mechanical protection, reduces corrosion risks, and improves aerodynamic efficiency. The mounting process is straightforward, requiring no drilling, as it attaches to factory points.
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.
