Well, this was my first ever thread, and I ended it by saying I'll let you know. So here you go 4 years later!

I replaced the bonnet (hood) padding with the full size one from a diesel model, which was larger. It came straight from Mercedes. I think there were 2 available and I went with the earlier one. It was fairly cheap at around £20-30. It's still on there perfectly and looks good. Unforunately the engine is still noisy compared to modern cars, I'm not sure if it really made a difference or not.

Case finally closed!
