Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Kia Rondo (2007-2013) II generation (UN) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Kia Rondo (2007-2013) II generation with the Kolchuga® skid plate, made from robust 2 mm steel. This essential accessory acts as a shield for your oil pan and engine, safeguarding critical components from harsh road conditions. With its durable design, this skid plate ensures your vehicle remains protected against impacts from below, extending the life of your car.
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 vital areas, including the radiator, gearbox, and engine, providing comprehensive protection. Its design features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to optimize airflow and prevent overheating. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
With Kolchuga® protection, your Kia Rondo is shielded from impacts caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation is straightforward, attaching directly to the factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications. This ensures mechanical protection and reduces the risk of corrosion while improving 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.
