Kolchuga® protection effectively guards against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By installing this protection, you can prevent costly repairs and reduce maintenance needs while enhancing 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.
