    For owners who drive on gravel roads, snowy ice ruts, or country highways with debris, upgrading the factory composite splash tray to a 2.5mm 5052 Marine-Grade Aluminium / Manganese Steel Skid Plate on the Atto 3, Sealion 6, or Seal is a 20-minute bolt-on job:

    On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

    • Uses the existing factory M8 threaded subframe captive nuts (zero drilling required).
    • Includes a removable service hatch for gearbox/engine oil drain plugs and vent louvres for inverter airflow.

      Fitted the 3mm 5052 aluminium front motor guard on my Sealion 6 before our Flinders Ranges trip—bolts straight into the 6 factory captive nuts in 15 minutes!

        @loganr82 Weighs only 4.8 kg with the aluminium version so there's zero penalty to range or nose weight.
