When i recarpeted mine, i removed all the bitumen from the floor and went over the whole floor and bulkhead below the dash with hammerite. The best stuff for soundproofing ive come across for under carpets is jute felt, chris at retro retrims supplied my last stuff, he may be able to tell you where to get it from. i think mine was around 15-20mm thick, but i used mine to soundproof out my boot area.

I also carpeted the crossmember, gives it more of a finished look i think.

And got to say, your mini looks very smart, nice job
