Why would it be there if it's not required? think about it guys... you may not notice the damage straight away, but too much heat in the wrong place will do damage over time...
I'm with this guy, apart from Mikester & his weight reduction ideas, I can't help but think it's all there for a reason?
The centre console gets warm as it is let alone with no heat shields?
Mine's rattling atm, but the garage are sorting it whilst they fix up the sills!
