ABV-VR6 12 Posted May 30, 2021 Today I was looking at my bonnet while working on the car. I noticed these pieces of what looks like hard foam on both sides of it. You can tell they are old... I can't see any part number or else, do any of you mates know if it's something that can be replaced? Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted May 30, 2021 prob worth getting some EPDM foam and cutting it into a block. Quite heat resistant Hasan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 30, 2021 I tried to get some earlier this year. Obsolete at Classic parts, but did see somewhere a person was having a go making these. I'll have a look around later to refresh my brain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABV-VR6 12 Posted May 30, 2021 Thanks to both of you! Yes, I guess I could maybe by a block of foam and try to cut and sand it but the result would probably be so-so knowing my sculpting skills! I guess someone with a 3D printer could make it happen? The only way I can see to remove it from the bonnet is to pry of the metal tab that holds it to the bonnet, correct? Found the part number from 7zap: 191 823 713 Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABV-VR6 12 Posted May 30, 2021 Found this guy who made the file for 3D printing. You can download it and make them if you have that kind of printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1982867 But also on Heritage website, it's saying available in 2 weeks, could that be true? https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/eu/191823713-bonnet-filler-piece.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I have some nos of these- they also came on the MK2 golf- they will be remade because of that exact reason so I expect they are been remade- none genuine but its just a sponge type material . They sit flush with the bonnet inner scuttle seal so I guess they are a water guide. Edited May 30, 2021 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABV-VR6 12 Posted May 30, 2021 Thank you Keyo for the precision.i did see it was made for 30 car models including the MK2. So ya, I think you're right and Heritage will come up with those again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 30, 2021 It sits/ clips in by a plastic piece going across it. When I get back later I will post a pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddy26 3 Posted May 31, 2021 Not the best quality but hopefully you can see how they clip on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABV-VR6 12 Posted June 1, 2021 Thank you very much, that's all I needed to understand how to remove them. It's always stressful to improvise on the Corrado! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
