Aluminum Skid Plate

Tired of replacing broken plastic belly pans on your 200 series Volvo? The stock plastic covers are known for a short life span, especially in colder climates where they become brittle and easily crack and shatter from minor impacts with road debris. They also commonly crack at the attachment points from repeated removal and replacement for basic maintenance. Several years ago, we saw a nicely fabricated aluminum version on Paul Grimshaw’s 240. (Paul is the author of 2 of our best selling Volvo owners books, “The Gothenberg Bible and “The Volvo Performance Handbook” ) We asked Paul about the skid plate and he told us that he had it built out of frustration with the stock plastic version. He has been using it for several years in the harsh Canadian winters and is very happy with the performance and utility it offers. We worked out a deal with Paul to use his design and make them available in a ready-to-bolt-on kit. Made of 1/8” aluminum plate, this will be the last one you’ll ever buy!

This is great, it looks good and functions very well. I think it is worth much more. The
factory skid plate was nonexistent on my 93 240 and the engine is happier for having
it. thank you.

Absolutely as good as it gets! Doesn't break in cold weather or with minor impacts from road debris. Great engine protection and, IMHO, helps engine run cooler by directing the fan's air flow onto the engine. Great purchase!!

Easy install and the screws where included. The plate has a part you can easily break off for AC hoses and an unclean break can easily be fixed with a file. My car has AC and I broke of this part as instructed but found out in installation that doing this wasn't even necessary, oh well. It's approx. 1/8 inch thick and extremely rugged. Highly recommended purchase.
