When you knock on the bonnet it makes more of a thud now instead of a clang. :thumbsup:

Yep, that's the sound you want to hear!

Flash taping is crap and not worth it...Doesnt deter the sound well at all, mine will be getting taken out and dynamat will be going in

if you want to use dynamat check on the american ebay, got £120 worth of the stuff delivered to england for £70 and did my front and rear bulkhead, doors, rear quarters, rear seat and front floor, Still have 1 strip left which im saving for the roof next time the liner is down. Made a massive difference to road noise.
