VW B5 Passat 1.8T ECS Street Shield Aluminum Skid Plate

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts.

Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components.

ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 4mm thick 5052 lightweight aluminum, with all hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.
