On a side note, I know that most engine covers are meant for NVR (Noise and Vibration Reduction).
Could well be. Both engines have the same one though and if anything the Aygo is smaller and, er, tinnier

They both have the same intake, except the Sirion has the additional tube. What is it for ?

I'm wondering if its a temp control intake, maybe lets air in from near the exhaust when cold and then from behind the grill when warm.

This guy did a test of intake temps for a C1 (identical engine and car).

And of course silly question - should I go warm or cold intake ? Or from Mrs A's point of view, is the Dyson safe

Edit - Another test from the same guy as above. I'm not a K&N / Sparco fan for obvious reasons (no FE benefit).
