    I go on the basis that if they were trying to reduce costs and if the insulation was redundant they would have removed it to save money. Also being a light coloured car any colour change is going to look much worse on mine.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.

    I know in the 70's ( early !! ) ..when I started driving...all of us "prehistoric boy-racers" LOVED to paint the inside of our bonnets...matt black !
    I prefer the oem look nowadays !
    One thing I ALWAYS look at..when buying a car..is "originality! I LIKE IT ! I like all the bit'd and pieces on it..that where on it when it was made.
    NAD..things like bonnet insulation, number plates, b o d y k i t s, etc
    ...CAN sometimes.."hint" that some degree of accident damage ..might..have reared it's ugly head ..during some point in the car's history !!!
