Hey guys,

My bonnet heat cover is all tatty so have been thinking of removing it?

There any chance of causing any issues with this, or does it make any difference at all?

No probs at all buddy. You will just get a bit of steam coming from the top of the bonnet when you are driving in the rain.

No issues. I removed mine.

Removed mine - no issue on my BB4

Sweet, good to know. Cheers for the reply guys as per!

It helps to heat up your engine little bit faster in cold weather and lose heat slower. Other than that it just looks damn fire hazard for me i'll tell you that Dont know if its flamable at all really.

If that's the case I know what I'll be doing tomorrow !

Same here, mine is awful but now knowing its alright without, get the buggar off

It's not.

It's there to damp noise, vibration and prevent the bonnet overheating and cooking the paint.

The world will not end if you remove it but chances of all the above will increase slightly.

I don't spend much time admiring the underside of my bonnet, so on the balance of the other benefits it brings, I can cope with it still being there instead of shiny paint.

Well i've been driving without it for a while, and paint was ok.
