Protect your Chevrolet Lacetti (2002-) with Kolchuga® skid plates, engineered to provide exceptional coverage and durability. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, creating a robust barrier against potential damage. Serving as a shield for your oil pan and other critical components, it ensures that your vehicle remains safe from the harsh impacts of the road. Whether you encounter rocks, ice, or curbs, Kolchuga® is designed to safeguard your vehicle's integrity.
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 |

This skid plate covers essential areas including the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance rigidity while allowing for optimal airflow. Additionally, service access openings are integrated for ease of maintenance, providing convenience for oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, and other road hazards, reducing the risk of costly repairs. The installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This protection not only enhances mechanical durability but also improves aerodynamics, contributing to overall vehicle efficiency.
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.
