bonnet insulation to keep or not to keep is the question??
does it actually make any difference if you take it off just as mine is sagging a bit in the middle and rubbing on my nice carbon engine cover
so just wandering if any of you guys have taken yours off??
thank Rich

Took mine out when the induction was fitted to add to the RAWR a little, day to day didn't actually notice it was gone!

Mines off due to it rubbing on bits in the bay and looking a bit tatty.

its only there to reduce noise, i don't think it has any other purpose, i have mine out right now due to a repaint I'm in the process of, but will put mine back to save the neighbours when i come home at all hours

It also helps protect the bonnet from the engine heat ...

I actually retrofitted it to my TU3 206, reduces noise a little bit & also stops the injectors getting damaged when the washer jets leak water

Did 300 miles in a motorway journey averaging 100 mph through Germany and the washer jet tubes weren't even soft... (checked because i was paranoid it would melt) maybe in summer it protects against heat?

Mine never had one :S mind you mine was built in France so they probably skimped on everything they could knowing it was going to the British market!
What is it, like felt stuff?

It is for protection from the heat. Just install it properly. A charity that makes winter jackets for the homeless recently received a substantial gift from General Motors. The company donated excess car insulation, which makes the coat lining. I have to buy a car that works well for me.
