Engine, Radiator & Gearbox Skid Plate for Chevrolet Niva (2002-2021) I generation incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Chevrolet Niva (2002-2021) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly designed to shield critical components from mechanical damage. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, providing a robust barrier against impacts from rocks, debris, and other road hazards. Think of it as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring that your vehicle remains operational even in the toughest conditions.
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 |
This skid plate covers the engine, radiator, and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance rigidity while allowing for optimal airflow, helping to maintain engine temperatures. The inclusion of service access openings facilitates easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively defends against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the likelihood of damage to vital components. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
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.
