Removing bonnet soundproofing?

[LegoHead]

I would like to here from people who have had it removed for quite a long while. I want to know if it can effect the paint on the bonnet as it gets quite hot in my engine bay.

i had it removed in my punto turbo for two years, no problemo. (high boostage ) Also remove the rubber seal on the slam panel to let some air through

Good idea. Was thinking of removing bits of the grill too.

We use hydac oil coolers in our test rigs, they contain pentosin, but flushed out the should do the job. I may have 12V fans for them too.
