Bonnet lining

**Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:52 pm

OK, got one of those bonnet linings from a scrapyard the other day. Thought they are rare so got it. My question is, is it worth fitting. It was in really good conidition, but some of the lining around the outer holes has torn slightly, think it should be ok.

Pros and cons of fitting it to my 1.5??

P.S. Its so paper like!

think they come on a 1.8, i was looking for one a while back.. tryin to hide the racket of my noisy engine...

Looks tidy, I guess it has to do with insulation - protecting the bonnet from the heat of a 1.8 engine?!?!?

I think it might be just for sound deadening. Maybe it only came on the 1.8 "Executive"???

V6 has it to although with a large square patch in it for some reason?

**Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2006 11:17 pm

mines got a square cut out as well, but mine was definately off a 1.8

**Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2006 11:18 pm

this might be totally wrong, but i think the patch is just over the air filter, and you want the air to be as cold as possible, so no insulation????

Much bigger on the V6 though, dont really see the point in the gap though?

Its definately sound proofing... Alot of diesels have them..

I guess the 1.5's didnt have em to save weight...:s
