I have a 200 cell sports cat on mine, it has passed its last 2 mots with it, but they are a pain, need too be nice an hot before going in. Mine needed a couple attempts to find the sweet spot but my mot bloke is sound and got it through, most can't be bothered to do it he said. Good luck
Spent a couple of hours cleaning the engine bay and modifying my engine cover - ever since fitting the strut brace the cover never fitted 
So measured and marked before slicing a section off
Sanded & smoothed the edges, have it a good clean then painted the I with red enamel paint (3 coats)
Fits and looks just right

I've used the 3M headlight restoration kits several times with decent results.

The best polish to use on the head lights is a g6 compound and a buffing machine

Yep, I ripped mine off ages ago.
We use insulation foam at work (high temp stuff) so gonna try a bit of that and see if it’s ok

Bane of my life that engine cover. The insulation disintegrated, so stuck on some really thick stuff, only for that stuff to detach not from the cover, but from the adhesive, so now I have loose foam and the adhesive is stuck fast to the cover.
Have been meaning to pick up some silver covered stuff from eBay and see if that works, but every time I measure the cover to get the right size, I end up doubting my measurements and don’t buy any.

Well, a good day so far.
Did an emissions test and it passed no problem
Then fitted my special edition ThaiW rear rollbar.

when contracting at vitafoam i wanted the same fire poof foam but none was there at time, wanted a rated temp foam as i did not want to chance it
That foam does absolutely sod all to reduce the clackety ole racket the PD engines make so I personally wouldn't waste my time and money trying to replace it.
Silent coating the bonnet would be more effective if you're aiming to reduce engine noise.
