Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda HR-V (2013-2022) II generation (RU) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda HR-V (2013-2022) II generation with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to serve as a robust shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission. Available in steel with a thickness of 2 mm or in premium aluminum (AluOx®) with a thickness of 3 mm, these skid plates provide mechanical protection against various road hazards. Engineered for perfect compatibility, they ensure that your vehicle's critical components remain safe from damage.
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 covers critical areas, including the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection. The design incorporates reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, allowing for optimal airflow and temperature regulation while maintaining structural integrity. Some models feature service access openings for easier maintenance, ensuring you can quickly change oil and filters without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, preventing costly damage to your vehicle's underbody. The installation process is straightforward, attaching directly to factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications. This ensures that the vehicle's original design and performance are preserved.
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.
