I covered my heat shields with perforated aluminium. It helps a little bit to deflect heat, but its main purpose is to protect the heat shields from damage.

The only issue I see with that is that the ali foil heat shield seems very resistant to corrosion and will stay bright for many years. Not sure the perf. ali will do the same.

Its been on 6 years and still looks as good as new. The ali foil on the heat shields can peel off over a period of time. The perforated metal helps to prevent this.

Perhaps the sheet is anodised or something. Would not expect bare ali to stay bright for that long.
