I normally like the exterior of minis to look std however I like this, subtle and probably works unlike my aerial

Been a while since I caught up with you project Carlos, excellent progress mate. What did you decide on with the sound deadening on the roof panel in the end?

I haven't yet. Probably silent coat and something like the original stuff to stop the bars moving

Looking good mate, when will it be 'finished' do you think?

Instead of the original heavy stuff. Try sheets of rubbery foam lagging. Its moisture / water proof. Fire rated. Acts as a sound deadener by helping dampen the noise. Would work well with silent coat on the panel first.

IMM 2017 is the new target.

I know this is from South Africa, but this is what I put in my car : CLICKY . Really light and is able to hold the roof bars in place nicely as well.

You should be able to. It's quite a porous looking sponge, so very light.

The pipe lagging is a class 0 Closed Cell Foam & although good that site is more expensive than other places for the same thing. For example LINK

As for the other stuff, to me looks like foil covered bubble wrap. You'd be better sticking with the foam or a felt type underlay.

 

Take a look over on the Talk Audio site for more info & to see how the guys there are doing things, there's a huge amount of info & great advice from members who've been there, done that.
