As per the thread title...
What heat shield options are their for an AU 6?  :Had a look but couldn't see any obvious thread done on this. Any one got pics of a non standard heat shield would appreciate a look. UK

Standard one is good I reckon, cools down the engine bay big time - with paceys

I've got a standard shield over pacies. I'd suggest that the factory part would be more efficient than an aftermarket option.
As for looks, that's subjective, but I guess you could get a sheet of stainless bent up. Someone ran a group buy on fordmods ages ago for such a thing, polished up and it definitely stood out.

Sorted had some stuff for sale on this forum back in June. I asked if he could get more, but he never came back with a reply :(
Definately looked nice! Dunno if it would be more efficient, but it looks heaps better

So the standard heat shield fits over aftermarket extractors? Is this always the case? I would have thought that because they were bigger, that it wouldn't fit?
