| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |

This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring that critical components are shielded from potential damage.

Additionally, service access openings enable easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively safeguards against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring that your vehicle remains in top condition. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, thus preserving your vehicle's original structure.
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.
