I've talked to a few folks that has this, or some type, of engine cover in place. The critical element is having adequate airflow...(as Dave W. says). One owner....who shall remain nameless....said that he monitored engine temp with, and without, an engine cover....saw ZERO difference.

Hi Tom and Dave W,

Thank you for your input.

The only time my Roadster ran a bit hot was when I had fitted a rally plate to the radiator grill and it was extremely hot weather on the Italian motorway.

Just fitted my Sigma engine cover which I bought a while ago, I think it gives the engine bay a much cleaner look.

Nice look as well as practical for keeping the water out of your plugs when leaving your car outside overnight when touring.

That looks great Craig,

Where did you obtain it. Is it a std. Ford item or from a after market supplier.?
