Is the bonnet heat shield needed? The clips on mine are knackered and after cleaning the bonnet I'd like to leave it off as I quite like the look.
Leave it off, because weight saving.
Agreed though, it does look better without the heat shield.
Not much weight saving
Tesco's.
If you prefer it off then leave it off. Besides, it's sound deadening, not a heat shield, so won't effect anything if you leave it off.
