Bonnet Question
The Bonnet of the TXD is starting to lose its lacquer and flaking making it look horrid. So while I await it being painted I am considering putting the non metal on.
What differance if any to noise insulation? Then again good idea or not?

Re: Metal or Plastic Bonnet
Only thing I noticed between the two was the radiator trim, air flow was different. That's on near identical 1.6s one with plastic and one metal bonnet!.

What Andy says, the plastic one is a lot lighter too.
