No idea. Didn't think too hard why they insulated the battery. Can't guess why.

Back on topic, yesterday went to the supermarket, funnily enough while there were about 20 cars there, I parked between 2 identical silver astra's. They were even the same model level - LS (but not LS ECO4 like mine). I checked out their headlights they both had the same rubber strip all the way round. I now doubt they put that in to improve areodynamics, they are probably just there to prevent bonnet rattling on the lights and cracking them?
