Does any one have sound proofing on the bonnet in the petrol versions, i found some info about sound proofing on the diesel versions but not on the petrol, here is the part number 6J0 863 831

This is not only for reducing the sound. It protects the paintjob as it does not let the heat get out.

It's a heat shield as well as sound proofing so it would be unwise to remove it. Unless you don't care about your bonnet paint that is

Does anyone know if the ibiza also suffers from the problem present in the LEON mk2 where the sound proofing gets soaked by rain?

I'm asking this as I just ordered mine and hope not to regret, as it is expensive
