Plastic weather cloth on the "Niva". Power cloth on the "Niva"

"Niva" by right can be called one of the most popular cars in our country. He was fond of anglers, hunters, villagers and extremals for good off-road qualities, which can easily conquer forests, swamps and other impassable roads.

But just like the rest of the analogues of the domestic car industry, the "Niva" at the output looks very "unfriendly" both in terms of design and in terms of security. One of the most common solutions for upgrading your favorite car remains a body kit, especially since its advantage over the "bare" body is quite obvious.

Let's try to figure out what is so attractive for the "Niva", and at the same time classify the basic concepts and moments.

Advantages of the body kit

1. Appearance . Even the most plain car after the dummy looks very presentable and "fresh". Therefore, besides the practical solution of the problem, the aesthetic solution is also solved.
2. Strength . All the bodies of domestic cars are assembled from tin, and the body kit on the "Niva" means, besides plastic, also a metal base designed to protect body parts along with thresholds and bumpers, which largely strengthens the body as a whole.
3. Ease of installation . During the installation / dismantling you do not need any special skills or a specific tool, everything is quite simple and understandable.

Power (metal) kit

A fully metal body kit can be recommended when the car is daily operated and subjected to extreme loads. Choosing an external weather-cloth for off-road cars "Niva", special attention should be paid to the material from which it is made. In total, there are 4 types of materials that are used in the manufacture of metal skirts.

1. Stainless steel . Detailed comments here are superfluous, and the advantages are obvious - the absence of corrosion and aesthetic appearance. The only disadvantage of this sort of dodger is the high price.
2. Steel . Obtained such obvesy from the rolled pipe with the subsequent processing of anti-corrosion materials. With his direct duties, he is doing quite well and costs a little less than stainless steel.
3. Chromed . The most expensive skirts are made of chrome, but in appearance they are many times more beautiful than the same stainless steel. The only thing, there is one but. If the body kit on the "Niva" from stainless steel or steel can be bought separately from the kit, then the chrome set will not be dismantled, and this, accordingly, is completely different amounts.
4. Aluminum . Rare view, but on our roads you can meet him. Many will consider that aluminum is soft and its application in obvesah is inadmissible and impractical, but let's look at more "advanced" models of the car industry. BMW and Audi have been using aluminum and its alloy in the suspension of their cars for several decades, and this is a very weighty argument. However, the aluminum body kit on the "Niva" can only be made to order, it is extremely difficult to meet it on the shelves of stores.

Installation locations

Probably the first thing the owner of the Niva wants to see on his car is the kenguryatnik. Although since the end of 2008 his installation was banned, this fact does not stop motorists. The main purpose of the engine is to protect the engine under the bonnet in the event of a head-on collision.

On the front of the car, namely the lower edge of the bumper, it is possible to install longitudinally shaped longitudinal elbows with internal fastening.

For extreme drivers and off-road lovers (as an alternative to kangaroo and tubular body kit), you can advise an entirely reinforced bumper with an additional winch attachment and metal crankcase protection. This design is more or less universal, but for its installation will have to make a few holes in the side members of the body.

Then you can add reinforced thresholds that are set to standard. In addition to the aesthetic function, they take on a part of the practical supplement - the footrest is very useful when boarding the car.

The rear bumper, as well as the front, should not be left without attention. For him, protective tubes are provided that are similar to the front ones and will not be hampered by the additional installation of reinforced corners, which will be very useful in the urban stream.

For fans of travel, fishermen and hunters, and brutality for the sake of, you can recommend a body kit on the "Niva" in the form of a staircase, which is fixed to the back door. If you have an expeditionary trunk, then without a ladder you just can not do. There are such instances infrequently, but they look very nice and add solidity to the car.

Plastic weather cloth on the "Niva"

With regard to plastic, you can say only one thing - cheap and angry. For the installation does not need special skills and tools, it's enough screwdrivers or a simple screwdriver.

When choosing a plastic body kit on the bumper, be sure to specify the thickness of the material and its quality. The same applies to the side liners and spoiler.

Expanders of arches made of plastic are an integral part of the body kit, fulfilling both an aesthetic and practical role. The car looks much more solid and beautiful with them, and the design of the arches allows you to protect the body from the rubble and other dirt flying out from under the wheels.

Equipment

In the kit along with the arches go rapids, door plates and decor on the rear bumper. After installing all parts of the car is largely transformed and looks very presentable.

It is not necessary to buy cheap skirts from plastic, it is thin and wears out quickly. And even if the plastic itself is attached to the conscience, its thickness will not allow to preserve the colorful coating.

Price of issue

The cost can vary in a wide range and depends on the type (plastic, steel) and the kind (chrome, thickness), that is, on what exactly the body kit was chosen for the "Niva". The price is below 10 000 rub. Not worth your attention, since what you get for this money will crumble in a few thousand kilometers.

As such, the price ceiling is not here, the amount per set can reach up to 70 000 rubles, and therefore everything depends only on your needs and financial possibilities.
