iNath Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sound insulation. Many people take it off and have no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It also helps to prevent heat distortion of the bonnet on diesel cars as the engine runs hotter. Sent from my SM-G900F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCA Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I leave mine on in the winter and take it off for the summer you might find the top end (tappets etc) noise is a lot louder with the insulation removed, (depending how loud your exhaust/ intake is that would drown out the noise) and you might want to put it back on again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm sure you'll figure out something! In all seriousness, what you got planned? :) Im dressing the engine bay a bit and got an idea from another site, its has to come down so i can use the shapes in the bonnet behind it, its basically just reflective colour chrome vinyl and then put some nice not bright but glowing light in the back of the engine bay then when i have the stainless steel parts in their the light reflects everywhere and on the chrome it looks wicked l!! Heres what it looks like and im going for Its just for show as there would be a hidden switch for the light or even wire it into the bonnet latch so when open lights on and closed they go off will have to see :) Would the padding make much difference to the sound?? I have a pretty loudish exhaust as it is and intake lol Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I took the padding off my clio and it made no difference over a 104db decatted system. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeccaaCat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 First thing I did with mine when I opened the bonnet was take it out! Been fine for a year lol. That looks really nice, few people at the meets have reflective material but never seen ligts8 Sent from my SM-G900F using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
