Frequently Asked Questions
Which option should I select?
Match the option to your car's model year. Cayenne 955 for 2002–2007 cars, Cayenne 957 for the 2008–2010 facelift. On the Touareg, Gen 1 is the 2002–2007 pre-facelift 7L and Gen 1.5 Facelift is the 2008–2010 car. If you are unsure, email your VIN to info@overlandtrek.com and we will identify it for you.
Manganese steel or aluminum — which should I choose?
The 3 mm manganese steel plate suits serious rock crawling and repeated heavy impacts. The 5 mm aluminum version is lighter and better suited to overlanding and moderate off-road use.
Do I need to remove this for servicing?
Yes — the plate comes off for underside maintenance access, using basic tools.
Does this affect fuel tank ventilation or filling?
No. The plate mounts to factory underbody points and does not interfere with the filler neck, vent lines, or fuel system components.
Can I buy all the skid plates together?
Yes — the complete manganese steel underbody protection kit bundles the plates at a lower combined price.

Quality is obviously there and the steel feels bomber. Instructions were basically useless, had to figure out the install myself.
Solid piece of steel and fits the Cayenne perfectly. Only knock is it took nearly three weeks to show up.
No complaints about the build quality or how it fits, just a little steep for what it is. Does the job though.
My Touareg sees rough terrain weekly and this skid plate finally lets me stop worrying about the tank. Really well made.
Bolted right up with no drama. Been through some nasty rocky trails and zero damage to the tank. Very happy with this.
