About UnderbodyGuards | Vehicle-Specific Skid Plates for European Cars

UnderbodyGuards is a specialized online store operated by SIA “FIGARO ART”, focused on vehicle-specific underbody protection for modern passenger cars, SUVs, vans, pickups, hybrid vehicles, and EVs. Our goal is to make it easy for drivers to find and order reliable underbody protection systems and skid plates designed for real European driving conditions.

Our range includes model-specific steel skid plates, sump guards, and related underbody protection components designed to help protect vulnerable parts such as the engine, gearbox, oil pan, fuel tank, differential, radiator area, transfer case, and high-voltage battery. These products are intended for everyday use on European roads, including city streets, highways, rural routes, gravel roads, winter roads, and uneven surfaces where impact damage can lead to expensive repairs.

We currently offer more than 1,500 vehicle-specific protection kits for European cars, SUVs, vans, and EVs, covering a wide range of brands, models, and generations. This allows drivers to choose a skid plate or underbody guard matched to their exact vehicle instead of relying on generic or universal metal plates.

UnderbodyGuards is part of the same automotive business behind PlasticAutoTank, our project focused on plastic fuel tanks manufactured in Latvia. Since 2018, we have supplied automotive parts worldwide, building practical experience in fitment, quality control, and customer support. Based on that foundation, we expanded into vehicle-specific underbody protection for drivers who need dependable protection for everyday road use.

What We Offer

At UnderbodyGuards, we focus on protection systems that help reduce the risk of damage to critical components located underneath the vehicle. Depending on the model, our range may include:

Engine protection and steel engine skid plates
Gearbox / transmission protection
Radiator and front underbody protection
Differential and transfer case skid plates
AdBlue tank and fuel tank protection
High-voltage battery protection for selected electric and hybrid vehicles
Other model-specific plates for exposed underbody areas

These products are especially relevant for drivers who regularly encounter potholes, rough asphalt, snow, ice, slush, road debris, speed bumps, gravel roads, forestry tracks, or construction zones. The right underbody protection kit can help reduce the risk of sudden oil leaks, impact damage, and costly repairs while supporting long-term vehicle durability.

Our Approach

We work in cooperation with an established EU manufacturing partner with market experience in automotive underbody protection systems since 2009. Our manufacturing partner operates under EN ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification for the design, manufacturing, and trade of metal skid plates and related parts. This cooperation allows us to offer model-specific products with a strong focus on fitment accuracy, practical relevance, and consistent quality standards.

Every skid plate is backed by a 24-month structural warranty, covering the integrity of the plate under normal use. This gives customers additional confidence that the protection they choose is designed not only to fit, but also to perform over time.

Our role is to combine this manufacturing base with a clear, service-focused online experience. We concentrate on careful product selection, transparent compatibility information, and readable product descriptions that explain what each protection system covers and how it fits the vehicle. We are not simply listing generic metal plates — we are building a specialized store for engine protection, gearbox protection, fuel tank protection, and other model-specific underbody solutions tailored to real-world use.

Guides and Compatibility Help

We do more than just sell metal parts. We combine vehicle-specific underbody protection with clear guides and compatibility help so you can choose the right skid plate with more confidence than from a standard factory catalog.

Our guides explain, step by step, when you really need a skid plate, how to choose between steel and aluminum, and what matters most for winter driving, gravel roads, and poor road conditions.

Built for Drivers Who Value Protection

We created UnderbodyGuards for drivers who want more confidence in how they protect the underside of their vehicle. Our aim is to offer practical protection kits, clear explanations, and reliable customer support so that you can choose the right engine skid plate, gearbox protection, or fuel tank skid plate with less guesswork.

Whether you mostly drive on paved roads with occasional winter conditions or regularly use gravel roads and rural routes, well-chosen underbody protection can be a smart long-term investment in your vehicle. To get started, you can browse protection by vehicle or check compatibility by VIN.
