The radiator sits forward and low, directly in the path of gravel spray, stone strikes and airborne debris from unsealed roads. This plate forms a solid 6mm aluminium shield across the full radiator area, preventing damage that could leave you stranded with a boiling engine.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — The automatic gearbox extends behind the engine, vulnerable to trail debris and underbody impacts.
