Timah89 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 on the underside of my bonnet i hae the rather luxurious soft cover that clips onto it, does anyone know of any good or bad things this actually does?? just wandering whether or not to take it off?

VR6Nat 9 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 its just soundproofing, i took mine off and i think most others have... just be careful with the clips cuz they can break and you may wanna save them for if you go FI and wanna put it back on. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 oh and if you're lucky it will be paint under there but some are primer, so another good reason not to break the clips!! Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 cool, might ditch it then when it stops snowing so much!! pretty sure it is paint as one of the clips is missing on the corner and it looked like dragon green all the way through! If i can make it louder by removing it then i will remove it cause i cant get enough of the V6 noise! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah, it doesn't make a mega difference, but every little helps!! haha. :) Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Looks much neater once it is off aswell just be carefull that you dont drop a clip into the holes they clip to as you will never get it out. It happened to me lol Link to post Share on other sites
