Heat Shield Rattle

Hey guys, 2013 Clubman S here. The car currently has 52K on the clock and seems to have developed some kind of an intermittent front-end heat shield rate at low forward speeds/reverse (obviously when the frequency is just right). Have started tapping around near exhaust manifold and if it is loose it seems lower on the shield.

Any thoughts guys?

Thanks for your help!

See post #12820 , most of the time its the DP rattling on the heat shield, there are bolts that need to be tight and the shield cant touch the down pipe.
