Hi. Does anybody know if you can still buy the under bonnet insulation for the above? Just taken the car cover off, opened the bonnet and the insulation looks like it's decayed above the fuse box area, either that or the mice have got in.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz under-bonnet locking part - brand new, manufactured 12/2016.
I bought a black badge from MB Newcastle - this was part of the kit, however my fitting is different, and I have no use for it.

There's no factory sound-proof kit for W169, so I am looking at DIY options...
