I've gone the other way and replaced mine with a new item I found. But also added two additional fixing points to stop it sagging onto the engine parts. IMO makes the bay look smarter.

Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
Agghhhh Tim you've got me doubting now lolI've gone the other way and replaced mine with a new item I found. But also added two additional fixing points to stop it sagging onto the engine parts. IMO makes the bay look smarter.
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.

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 !!!

BUT..I would really like some ..bonnet louvres..put on the bonnet one day....so..would then have to be a case of ..bye bye.. Mr bonnet lagging !!
...the louvres that areactually put on the bonnet ..BY HAND ..ala vintage bodyshop..they look very classy. and oem..I think
I've got a new one to put on, Where did you put the extra fixing points?I've gone the other way and replaced mine with a new item I found. But also added two additional fixing points to stop it sagging onto the engine parts. IMO makes the bay look smarter.
Hopefully you can see them Ritchie, along the centre moulding on the bonnet. Carefully drilled two holes.
