Careful ... it also protects the bonnet from heat and damaging the paint finish.

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?

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

Knew it affected some engines, I cant see the benefit or gains from removing it.
