You shouldn’t need to do anything with the bonnet as the louvers aim backwards but there is a tester somewhere that insists they are covered. As for the unleaded insert that is only needed if a cat is required i.e. post 95

Stuck some thin white foam over louvres with duck tape. The testers first instruction was to remove the bonnet, didn't even look at it. Pulled the foam off before I left the sva station (a frosty start had turned to a lovely sunny day with a MAC in my hand).

as Chris said, bonnet louvres Ok as also fuel filler, but make sure the ally surround has a 5mm radius on it, mine failed even though it had a rubber surround,

good luck

A large O ring or the rubber seal from an oil filter lightly glued on

the unleaded restricter, maybe a good idea if theres a BP station near you, or be very wary about the blue pumps selling "high performance" diesel,

oops
