In my experience it's just a lot of people trying their luck for a bargain.
I can only presume that some people must cave at the offer of 'cash today bruv', as there's so many people trying the tac ... |

Speaking of engine noise, I did pick up a large foil covered foam panel/sheet to fit to the underside of the bonnet. I'll also apply 2mm pads before this foam.
I'm pretty sure it'll quieten down t ... |

I'd agree on the firewall/seatbox bit. I'm looking forward to getting those done.
at some point I'll take the dash out and do the bulkhead too.
One of my wiper wheelboxes is clicking, so I'll com ... |

Yes they have. I was quite impressed.
Obviously I need to do more before it gets remotely quiet in there, but I could notice a slight improvement with each door as I did them. They also sound m ... |

I'm currently soundproofing mine in stages, as and when I get spare time.
I'm also interested to know people's experience of where you can squeeze in the closed cell foam (and where you can't).

If it's a new car, and you're thinking of ceramic coating it as soon as you receive it, it may well be worth asking your supplying detailer not to clean it ready for your collection.
