To better protect the mechanics under the body from potential damage caused by bumps or other obstacles on unpaved roads, it is advisable to install additional protection. The operation is very simple and does not require special tools.

Lift the car on the ramp to facilitate the installation process. Remove the four retaining bolts of the current protection and then insert and tighten the two studs provided in the kit using an Allen key to secure the protection bar. Fasten the bar with the remaining bolts and tighten them securely with a ratchet spanner.
