The last few miles to a quiet campsite shouldn't have you wincing at every scrape underneath your Sprinter. These duralumin front plates protect the cooling system, engine, differential and steering on the October 2022-onwards VS30 4Matic. Choose 6 mm or 8 mm and the version for your bumper. The original-bumper options include the recovery-point kit.
PDMBS3A26 is the 6 mm original-bumper plate; PDMBS3A28 is the 8 mm original-bumper plate. Both include the recovery-point kit. PDMBS3A26VC and PDMBS3A28VC are the respective 6 mm and 8 mm versions for the VAN COMPASS bumper-lift setup; these do not include that recovery-point kit.
| Option | SKU | Thickness | Weight | Application detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PDMBS3A26 | PDMBS3A26 | 6 mm | 24 kg | Original bumper; recovery-point kit included |
| PDMBS3A26VC | PDMBS3A26VC | 6 mm | 24 kg | VAN COMPASS bumper lift; recovery-point kit excluded |
| PDMBS3A28 | PDMBS3A28 | 8 mm | 25 kg | Original bumper; recovery-point kit included |
| PDMBS3A28VC | PDMBS3A28VC | 8 mm | 25 kg | VAN COMPASS bumper lift; recovery-point kit excluded |
The plate uses certified AW5083 H111 duralumin, a high-strength aluminium alloy that weighs less than steel of the same size and thickness. That makes sense on a van already carrying tools, a camper conversion or everything for a week away. You get a substantial guard underneath while keeping the extra weight down.
The duralumin plate won't rust when its surface gets scratched, and its natural oxide layer helps it resist corrosion. It's a useful long-term benefit on a van you use through wet winters as well as summer trips. An ordinary scrape doesn't leave the plate with exposed steel to start rusting.
We'd choose 6 mm SportDuty for recreational off-roading and overlanding where keeping added weight down matters. For heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips, we'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty. The option table shows the weight of each version.
Almont has specialised in underbody protection since 1992, with advice from preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid competition. That background adds substance to the premium: certified material, a design matched to your van and decades spent protecting vehicles underneath. We'd choose it to look after a van that carries so much of our work or our time away.
If you're adding a winch to an October 2022-onwards VS30 4Matic with its original bumper, we'd pair the PDMBS3A26 or PDMBS3A28 plate with our WBMB967 winch support. The support and winch are sold separately.
The plate bolts into your vehicle's original holes and threads using the supplied steel supports and fixings, with no need to drill new mounting holes. The certificate/instruction manual is included to guide the installation. Raised suspension is compatible when the original mounting points remain in place.
The plate needs the original chassis, frame, axle and suspension-stay anchors, transmission mounts and stabiliser-bar supports. Body lifts and diff-drop kits change that relationship and are incompatible.

No. PDMBS3A26 and PDMBS3A28 include the recovery-point kit. The VAN COMPASS bumper-lift versions, PDMBS3A26VC and PDMBS3A28VC, do not.
For recreational off-roading and overlanding, we'd choose the lighter 6 mm SportDuty plate. We'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty for heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips. Both use the same certified alloy; the option table gives the weight for your exact version.
Your skid plate comes with matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, a certificate and instruction manual, and an Almont sticker. The original-bumper options include the recovery-point kit; the VAN COMPASS versions omit it.
Give the plate a pressure wash once a year, or two or three times a year if you use it in muddy or salty conditions. Check the fixings for tightness annually as well. Follow the supplied instructions when refitting it after maintenance.
Almont's three-year warranty covers cracking of the protection itself. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
