Radiator, Gearbox, Engine & Rear differential Skid Plate for Suzuki Vitara (2015-) II generation (LY) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Suzuki Vitara II (2015-) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, made from durable 2 mm steel. This protection acts as a mechanical shield for critical components, ensuring your vehicle is safeguarded against potential damage from road hazards. Think of it as a robust armor for your oil pan and transmission, designed to absorb impacts and prevent costly repairs.
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 essential areas including the radiator, gearbox, engine, and rear differential. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal airflow. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from road debris, ice, rocks, and other potential hazards. Its installation provides mechanical protection, reduces corrosion, and improves aerodynamics, contributing to overall vehicle efficiency. Designed for straightforward installation, it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or welding.
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.
