Removing under bonnet heat lagging ???
I am thinking of taking the heat laggin off to reduce under bonnet temps
and putting some reflective mat on the bonnet just above the turbo.
Is there any probs with doing this ??? or has anyone else done this ?
Need to know where to get the matting from aswell

One of the 1st things i did mate, as said above the paint aint the greatest but give it a good buff and it should come up pretty good

I think the lagging is there for sound deadning as much as for heat insulation. It is fitted on many cars that aren't exactly high performance - Cavaliers, Vectras, Astras. It is always fitted on the top models - CDX Elite etc - This is for refinement rather than heat.
I've take mine off and had no trouble, but if you are fitting a massive turbo then I could see that you might have a paint problem.
