Enhance the durability of your Porsche Panamera (2009-2016) I generation (970 мм) with Kolchuga® skid plates, expertly crafted from 2 mm steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and oil pan, safeguarding critical components against the harsh realities of the road. Designed to absorb impacts and prevent damage, this protection is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your vehicle.
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 key areas such as the gearbox and engine, providing comprehensive protection against road hazards. The design includes reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings that ensure optimal airflow, maintaining the vehicle's thermal management. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without needing to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively protect against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, reducing the risk of damage to vital components. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This not only preserves the vehicle's integrity but also enhances aerodynamic performance.
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.
