I may have mentioned this before but it's important to keep the catalytic convertor hot. The original GDI heat shield is a perfect fit, with just a couple of cut outs for the original application, but it fits the AR catalytic convertor well.

I made a front deflector plate when I fitted the exhaust, to keep the road dirt away from the cat.

Anyway I thought a second layer wouldn't go amiss, so I've added some woven heat resistant blanket, (from Agriemach) - and made a stainless steel cover to hold it in place. After cutting to size, I bent the plate around the old cat to get the right curvature.

Fitting is a bit fiddly, but it looks shiny shiny now.
