Wow, thanks. Fascinating. . . . I'd be interested to hear of peoples experiences with this kit, ease of install, how well do they fit, value for money etc.

Yes - that is the one I bought - I would say it is a mixed bag - the sections I have installed so far (underbonnet, boot and rear floor) are well shaped and cut out. The boot and rear floor sound proofing has definitely made a big difference- I would say the underbonnet has not made much difference, but these are just pads cut out to fit on the underside of the bonnet itself, with no extra soundproofing added to the bulkhead, which is probably where it is needed. Also, the rectangular pads supplied to go under the back seat and in the doors look a bit measly, and to get a good effect in those areas, I would think you need better coverage. You may be better off buying some of your own material such as dynamat, and cutting it out yourself to go in the doors and under the rear seat.

At 200 pounds, it is perhaps a little expensive - you could probably do just as well and possibly better for slightly less money by buying some of the sheets from dynamat or dodomat, and cutting them out yourself - you can use brown paper or perhaps an old roll of wallpaper to make templates.
