Nissan Figaro Under Hood/Bonnet Heat Shield – NEW

Description

The Nissan Figaro is equipped with a turbocharger allowing the engine to produce more power, torque, acceleration and fuel economy from the 987cc powerplant. The turbocharger works by using spent exhaust gas to spin a turbine which in turn forces air in the the engine to produce power.  The front mounted turbocharger generates a lot of heat and due to its position in the engine bay, this heat radiates very close to the under skeleton of the front opening bonnet/hood. In order to stop paint damage occurring from this excess source of heat, Nissan designed a reflective under hood/bonnet heat shield situated just above the turbocharger to deflect heat away from the bonnet. Over time, and due to the age of the Nissan Figaro, these reflective mats have perished, fallen off or no longer perform as they should. The thin aluminium foiled unit has not stood the test of time and not only lack the same reflective performance but look unsightly.

Here at The Figaro Shop, we are always at the forefront of product development for the Nissan Figaro. We pride ourselves on continually improving on products which have always been an issue, no longer available and especially improving the safety and longevity of the Nissan Figaro platform. We have been asked so many times for a solution for the under hood/bonnet heat shield and we are now proud to be able to supply a brand new, modern, hi-tech solution to this problem. This UK manufactured heat shield is an innovative thermal and acoustic insulator made of a mechanically embossed aluminium foil bonded to a fibreglass backing using a non flammable adhesive. This allows for a thicker product manufactured using modern technologies that will reflect more heat, insulate sound better and allow it to be shaped to suit.

The panel comes complete with a pack of 10 clips ready to retain the panel to the underside of the bonnet/hood (9 clips are needed and 1 is a spare). The panel is manufactured as a flat panel and can be easily bent as it is being installed for a perfect fit in a matter of minutes using basic DIY tools. Please see our how to video HERE.
