ARMOURING PROCESS (EN 1063) B4
B4 discreet bodywork:
Lightweight composite armour is precisely cut and bonded to sheet-metal areas, with the appearance of the vehicle remaining similar to that of a standard un-armoured model. Coverage includes:
- Entire passenger cell, including partial firewall and footwell area
- A-, B- and C-pillar sections (using armoured steel)
- All doors, including the tailgate on SUVs and estates
- Boot area behind the rear seats in sedans and hatches
- Overlaps for door closures, windscreen and rear screen
B4 discreet glass:
In our standard B4 discreet armouring packages, all window glass is replaced with state-of-the-art 21 mm ballistic glass, which is curved to OE specification and appearance.
- Driver’s window is halfway to fully functional, depending on the vehicle
- High durability, purpose-manufactured actuators replace the original winding system
- All other windows are fixed, unless otherwise specified
- Full protection for vehicle’s sensor package, where fitted
B4 discreet available body styles:
Our B4 discreet packages can be applied to most body styles. No suspension upgrade is required.
