any one

barry wemyss

so no one can advise on this

wouldn't think there is any need for the foil,the vents on mine are blanked off with a plate aswell,taking them off probably isn't a good idea it will let rain water in,i've been thinking of someway to modify them to let heat out.

Mine has had no plates fitted on all 3 vents for a good couple of years now, I dont drive it very often in the rain but on the few occasions that I did it never caused a problem, although it does gather water around the battery & abs unit when stood in rain. I wouldnt take the big panel off from the intercooler vent if you still have the standard top mount which I dont, it may cause problems.

cheers guys i think i will just leave them what about the thick carpet sort of stuff that goes round the vents and the test of the bonnet

Thats sound deadener, probably best leaving that where it is or you'll be hearing all sorts of random noises!
