Anyone help?

Very! Thanks a bunch! 8-)
My heat cover thing is sagging a little over the spark plug cover and......shock horror...scuffing my PAW sticker! :oops: :evil:
I want to whack some extra poppers on it, but needed to see where the holes were without taking it all off.
Looks like I have plenty of options, nice one Nafe.

A very common issue. I used a blob of Sikaflex adhesive. :)

:lol:
I have thought about removing it, but it seems a shame when it's basically in very good nic, just needs some extra poppers in it.
@Pushki - ta for advice too :)

I removed my cover as well in my old car. :twisted: No different in sound but when it rains you can see steam coming out the top as the bonnet gets wet. :twisted:
