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, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum, with black zinc-coated steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

The MKVI Golf is noticeably more taught, agile, and precise in both handling and acceleration compared to its predecessor.

ECS, Whiteline, H&R, Autotech, APR, Racingline, and Neuspeed solutions range from 22mm to 28mm according to your driving style.
