The glass fiber one on mine went really manky so I binned it.
Anyone know where I can get something to replace it. Ideally not glass fiber again

Been told by others to not bother replacing, makes next to no difference.

its the fire shield is it not?

I heard this too... apparently it drops onto the engine if it catches fire... But to be honest it only covers a small part of the engine and would only sit on top of all the pipe work and not actually envelop the areas that are on fire. There would be so much free space full of air I can't see laying a small bit of fibre glass mat on top of the inlet manifold doing anything...

I think it is made of that material to stop it from catching fire but not to stop fires. Just guess work of course.... mine is in a landfill somewhere.

contact Lord Harding on here, he has a lovely bit of replacement on his bonnet and I am yet to find out where he got it from

I will see if he has a picture of his bonnet somewhere

Found these online. No prices or anything yet though. Maybe someone could get in touch and see if there's interest in a group buy.

They look smart. But why do we want to keep heat in our engine bay? Wouldn't it be better seeping up through the bonnet as another way out? Would covering the top surface of the bay in insulation and heat reflective material not make the bay and therefore under bonnet temps hotter?

Willowsdad

Good point, but how much heat do you actually lose through the bonnet? I just hate the look of the standard blanket, and the fact that you can't clean it.

it wouldn't put anything out lol. it wont add to the fire though. i guess that's the point

that dose look very nice
looks expensive though
i just want something that's plain black and wont melt lol

the blankets there to soundproof a little. it cuts out little squeakes and rattlles and clicks and valves. keeping the heat in is a side effect.
when the cars moving though the air going through the engine bay will remove more heat in 5 seconds than an uninsulated bonnet will in a whole journey

Leave it off, detail under the bonnet get it nice and shiny, looks much better

i think it looks better with a nice neat mat in it but hey

got a reply from vmarkcovers
£105 for the plain type and £130 for the quilted type with logo sewn in

As much as I'd Iike a nice one I can think off a lot better things to spend that much on!

This!

It's not soundproofing, it's fire blanket and it's a waste of time! Take it off and you will hear NO difference in sound levelas whatsoever as you are in the car not lying on the bonnet

They are great

Mark put a prototype on mine to test it for a year before he starts marketing them and well

They are great and will be a best seller this year



Mark will be on shortly to tell you everything you need to know about them
