#1: Bonnet Lining Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 6:02 am ---- How many have removed the factory bonnet lining?
#2: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 7:49 am ---- Careful ... it also protects the bonnet from heat and damaging the paint finish.
#3: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: hayes_ctfc, Location: CheltenhamPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 11:19 am ---- I've removed mine temporarily till I go back to work tuesday to buy more clips for it. It acts as a soundproofing to quiet the engine down a bit and as Gaz said,it protects the paint from heat. Recommended to keep on IMO

Some models don't come with it, but it can cause faults with injectors etc from water dripping. Why would you want to remove it?
#5: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 11:46 am ---- Mine did not come with it, but has one now

#7: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 5:01 pm ---- I taken mine off. Does absolutely nothing. Engines still giving of the same amount of noise and having driven the car 4 months now and still nothing has happened to the paint.
#8: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 5:10 pm ---- Ditto, my didnt come with one. (have had it 18months) Still looks fine underneath and cant see any issues at all.
#9: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 4:24 am ---- As far as I know my cars never had bonnet lining fitted and the paintwork is on fine condition
#10: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:21 am ---- I think other than protecting the bonnet from heat it doesn't do anything else but it will be staying on, may even get a new liner
#11: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 7:25 am ---- I never had mine on lucy for about 7 years?! Did nothing to the paint

Only on the TU engines
#13: Re: Bonnet Lining Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:43 am ---- Knew it affected some engines, I cant see the benefit or gains from removing it.
