Protect your G-Class with a front guard matched to it
Look after the steering bars and radiators beneath your G-Class with Almont's 8 mm HeavyDuty duralumin protection. Three front-guard versions cover the stated W461 PUR Professional, W463 and WG65/G500 application branches, each requiring the original vehicle supports.
Choose the vehicle version, not just the G-Class name
The W461 PUR Professional PDMBG4A8 weighs 8.5 kg, the W463 PDMBG4A28 weighs 9.5 kg, and PDMBG4A8AMG weighs 9.6 kg. The AMG option label in the selector is PDMGB4A8AMG; the supplied SKU is PDMBG4A8AMG. Choose the guard for your exact G-Class version.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.
