Question for Clubsport s owners
« on: 25 November 2020, 10:39 »
Hi
Could anyone tell me if the Clubsport S has the soundproofing/heat shield clipped to the inside of the bonnet?My ED 40 has and had read the S doesn't so just wondering?

Correct Richard

The ED40 has the under bonnet soundproofing whilst the CLubsport S does not.
It’s a 2 minute job to remove which results in more engine noise but the thing is as light as a feather so no weight saving.

As above, I removed (and stored) the under bonnet soundproofing from my CS, there may be a marginal difference in noise under acceleration.
Don't get your hopes up too much! :)

Thanks for your replies!
Took it off and it is indeed a marginal difference!But less to drag around so worth the 2 minutes...every little helps!
