Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications; it mounts directly to the factory points, ensuring a secure fit. This protection not only enhances mechanical durability but also reduces the risk of corrosion and improves 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.
