Underbonnet (hood)

Hi there. Just got my car back from the body shop after repairs. All looks good but looking under the bonnet (hood). There is no heat proof material under there and I can't remember if it came with one, but it looks like there should be something there. Can anyone tell me if there should be something there.

"hood" is UK term for what we call the convertible top in the USA.
"bonnet" is UK term for what we call the "hood" in the USA.
"wings" are the UK term for what we call "fenders" in the USA.
We could go on here for awhile...
Funny story about New York City Rolls Royce dealer who sold a new Corniche convertible to an ex.pat Brit who took the car back and asked that they "dye the hood black..."

Good British - American translation list here:
British and American terms - Oxford Dictionaries (US)
I'm always confused when they refer to the "nearside" or "far-side" of the car in the UK. I assume "nearside" is curbside (right) for RHD cars.

Not in the North American continent. "Curb" is both noun and verb, and "kerb" would only be utilized by the spelling challenged.
My Apple Macbook auto spell-checker wouldn't even let me type "kerb" in either of my posts here and tries to change it to the word, "verb." I have to choose override to even type it.
