Gretie22 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 My sound proofing on the bonnet is really tatty, a few of the clips are broken and it's hanging down on one side. Can I just take it off or will the heat ruin the paint on the bonnet? Or shall I try and repair it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Alot of people take it off, I've just taken dads off because it was tatty and caused issues with heat soak on the dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 A lot of people have removed theirs for years with no ill effects. I removed mine as it was looking tatty, and other than the turbos sounding louder, nothing has changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 You mean the "fire blanket"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 As Pete said its a fire blanket if there's an under bonnet fire the plastic clips melt causing the blanket to drop and drape over the engine Not a lot of people know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Cant see it draping over the engine and actually making a difference as they're quite stiff, i doubt all the clips would melt at the same time either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
