A lot of the exhaust heat shield on the avant is rotten:

So I need to replace it or do without it. I've read a few threads and opinion seems to be mixed. Other than the extra heat into the cabin is there anything else to be wary of if not replacing them? I'd guess any rubber parts such as the prop centre bearing would be at risk from the extra heat or is this nothing to worry about?
In the engine bay the insulation on the body around the turbo is also well past it's best. Was thinking of replacing this with some self adhesive aluminium tape/sheet. Or does anyone have any better ideas?
