Indeed, however I have no idea what the standard is either! Just budgeting really.
After thinking about this, I think I'll hold off anyway. My original is in good condition and I'm not sure how taking that off and replacing it will turn out. (images of it peeling away from the heat of the engine...)
Main priority for me should really be sorting Blipi's turbo and bodywork. Her interior could do with some TLC too. She's been a bit neglected for a while so now I hope to treat her a little.
Looking forward to seeing these when they are done!

Matt, Don,
The hood liner is finished. Attached is a photo of one with a yellow Lotus decal and another showing 1/4 and 1/2 material. All my other liners are 1/4 inch. 1/2 will be unique to the Lotus liners.
Here's a breakdown of the details:
It's made of a special blend of nitrile vinyl closed cell foam rubber that is FAA approved for aircraft firewalls and bulkheads. It will not absorb water, oil, or antifreeze. Its light, about 14 ounces, and is also fire retardant and insulates against sound and heat.
You can wash it and hose it off. Since it’s made for aircraft firewalls and bulkheads, it’s extremely light and unlike the factory liner will not absorb water and resists mildew. It has a smooth finish and the color is black.
Its pre cut to fit. Installation is easy using 3M type #80 or # 90 spray adhesive or other high temp adhesive for vinyl nitrile foam rubber.
It's available in 1/4 or 1/2 inch thickness.
The Lotus decal is 9 inches in diameter and available in red, yellow, silver, blue, or white.
Once the decal is in place it will not come off. Peeling it off will pull some of the hood liner foam with it.
The liner is available without the decal.
The decal is made from high performance vinyl designed for exterior signs and graphics.
The decal should be mounted after the hood liner is in place.
The retail price on my website for the 1/4 inch liner without the decal is $59.00 (eBay price will be $69.00)
The retail price on my website for the 1/2 inch liner without the decal is $89.00 (eBay price will be $99.00)
The retail price of the decal is $10.00
Instructions for the liner and decal will be included with each one.
It will be packaged in a box measuring 6x6x24 or 8x8x24 and weigh 1.25 or 1.9 pounds
Shipping info:
Domestic shipping via Fed Ex Ground or USPS Priority Mail $10.00
International Shipping World Wide via USPS Priority Mail $30.00
I will not alter the value for overseas shipments. Some customs and tax authorities around the world can and will seize shipments if they suspect someone is trying to avoid paying their import duties or tax.
The liners can be purchased on my web site
http://928leathershop.com/Hood_Liner_Heat_Shields.html
If the purchaser enters "Lotuselancentral" (no quotes) in the "Discount or Coupon Password" box on the shopping cart page they will get 15% off the order.
This discount will drop to 10% May 10, 2008.
If anyone wants to coordinate a group buy with one shipping address, (perhaps overseas) have them contact me with the quantity, decal colors and shipping address and I'll estimate the total shipping charge.
Thanks very much for putting this together

Well done Matt, they look excellent!
I dont mind co-ordinating the UK contingent - if thats ok with everyone?
I'm assuming the USA and RoW chaps will make individual orders direct.
If the UK guys can update the list I've compiled below before 30/4/2008 - I will then contact the chap and arrange postage costs for those that have completed their requirements (pending the decal being corrected - well spotted Sy)

I'm really sorry but the logos not complete. He's chopped off the two tails of the smaller 'C'.

Bonnet Liners
by woody » Mon 07.04.2008, 14:24
Can we just buy the Decals, and glue them to our liners ?
My liners are in good condition, and it seems a shame to cut them out & replace them.
Cheers,
Woody.

I agree but do we know if the decal will adhere to the OEM liner? Can someone enquire at the manufacturer? Does he still have the one that was sent to him?

Matt,
I can fix the tails on the C. The decal will be available separately once I get the artwork redone for $12.00

The factory liner is a bit flimsy compared to mine, but I think it will work.
I did an image search and didn't see too many gold ones, but I can do a gold color too.

I have opted for the thicker material as I think it will give twice sound proofing.
I am away from home for another week so I cant tell how well either will fit under the bonnet.
Could somebody advise so I can make a more informed descision.
Cheers
Tony

Folks,
I asked Mr. Budd to try attaching a decal to my OEM liner, and he reported:
I tried a decal on the stock liner & it would not stick. Not at all.
I also asked him to measure the thickness of the OEM liner and he reported:
The stock liner is just over 1/2 inch thick.
