wrap - they work better and keep the heat down under the bonnet = more power/torque which is what you bough them for I presume?

Yes, firstly it holds the heat in which is good for performance, secondly it stops them melting the bottom of your radiator as they get VERY hot. Plus they dont stay shiny for long anyway.
