Proper front protection for your body-lifted Touareg or Cayenne
A body lift should not leave you making do with a nearly-right front guard. This Almont plate is made for body-lifted Touareg 7L and Cayenne 9PA applications, protecting the radiators, steering, engine and front differential in 8 mm duralumin. You get a dedicated guard for the way your vehicle has been modified.
SKU: PDWTA28
Made for the body-lift installation
A body lift changes the relationship between the body and chassis. This is the dedicated front plate for that application, rather than the standard-body guard. It weighs 20 kg and gives your lifted vehicle substantial protection beneath the components you want to keep clear of rocks and rough ground.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
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.

Fitting

Requires a body lift kit for the listed 7L / 9PA application. Other altered chassis, axle, transmission and stabiliser supports need their own confirmed compatibility; standard guards are separate products.
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Is raised suspension enough to need this version?
No. This version is for a body lift. A suspension lift alone does not create the same application.
Does it fit both vehicles?
Yes, the listed body-lifted Touareg 7L 2004-2010 and Cayenne 9PA 2003-2010 applications are covered.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
