While I understand Pottsy's point about removal invalidating the warranty around the wheel area, I'm not so sure about the shield protecting mechanicals from radiated heat.

Well, at least if that's the case, then why do Civics sold in many mainland European countries not come with them fitted at all? And does that mean I should be expecting wobbly steering in the near future?

I think it's more a case of they make the Civic's standard discs look bigger. And, although there may well be some additional benefit in heat reduction, I doubt it seriously helps the longevity of brake related parts. Otherwise, surely, they'd be fitted as standard across mainland Europe?
