I have a replacement hood pad for my 240D, that I'm going to be putting on, one of these days if I ever get a chance! Would like to scrap off more of the old glue and prep it a little better, etc.

My old one had a foil square over the air filter. My new one does not.

I saved the foil, should I bother to cut a piece in the new one and reuse the foil? It was glued to the hood, and the (original) hood had a square hole. It was like the square was cut, wrapped in the foil, then glued separately.

If there is no real purpose in the foil, it would be easier to just put on the new hood pad in one piece.
