What's the state of peoples bonnets been like once these are removed?  Is it generally a bit of a mess under there? Mine has a rip in it so just want to get it ditched. I need to book my car in to get my bonnet resprayed anyway so would it be worth getting both sides done?

Well i picked up my new sound proofing/heat insulation for under my bonnet today, the old part number was 1KO 863 831 C but the new part is 1KO 863 831 D, the new insulation has a rectangular metal foil plate stuck the the front part of the sheet which my old one didnt have, possibly to protect against heat from the radiator??  :laugh: Fits perfect and came complete with all the clips for £52  :happy2:

Completely clean. by having the insulation on it keeps it as the cleanest part of the car so just needs dust and bits wiping off.
Mine looks like new.

My bonnet is double-skin carbonfibre, painted on the outside, and the engine side doesn't get dirty - Just some splashing occasionally and shiny black finishes show all the dirt.
