BYD Formula Leopard 5 Side Skirt Guard (Side Rocker Panel / Body Side Bar)

This product is professionally designed for BYD’s professional personalized brand—the Formula Leopard 5, the brand’s first model, serving as a core protective and decorative component installed beneath the side sills on both sides of the vehicle, designed to resist stone impacts, side scrapes, and mud erosion during off-road driving.

As a professional manufacturing factory specializing in automotive exterior protection parts and off-road modification components, our side skirt guard assembly strictly follows OE specifications, dedicated to providing the global aftermarket with high-strength, wear-resistant, non-destructive installation replacement and upgrade solutions.

The side skirt guard is an important component of the Formula Leopard 5’s hardcore off-road styling. The OEM design uses large-area black hard plastic material wrapping, together with the front/rear bumpers and fender flares, forming the underbody protection system with a rugged character . The outward-protruding side skirt design visually enhances the vehicle’s muscular and powerful appearance . For owners seeking personalized modification, metal side skirts or custom-colored side skirts are key options for enhancing appearance .

Compatible with all BYD Formula Leopard 5 trims (including Explorer/Navigator/YunNian/Smart Driving versions). According to vehicle data, the Formula Leopard 5 measures 4890×1970×1920mm with a wheelbase of 2800mm . This product offers both OEM-spec replacement and modified upgrade options with vehicle-specific design, compatible with original mounting holes.

Installation Instructions

Tools Required:

• Plastic clip removal tool

• Screwdriver / Socket Wrench

• Cleaning Cloth

• Jack or Lift (if needed)

 Installation Steps (General Reference):

1. Clean mounting surface: Remove dust and mud from the side skirt mounting area

2. Remove old side skirt: Use a plastic pry tool to carefully release retaining clips—remove the old skirt

3. Clean clip holes: Remove dust and debris from clip holes

4. Install new side skirt: Align the new skirt with mounting positions—press clips into place sequentially (bolt-on for modified versions)

5. Check installation: Verify even gaps between side skirt and body—ensure all clips/bolts are locked

【【Professional Tips】:

• OEM side skirts feature a split design from fender flares and bumpers—can be replaced independently

• Plastic clips are single-use—replace with new clips if damaged during removal to ensure secure fitment

• Pay attention to bolt torque during metal side skirt installation—avoid over-tightening causing deformation or under-tightening causing rattling

• After installation, recommended to check side skirt bottom drainage holes for proper flow to prevent corrosion
