Highly recommended by 'Practical Classics' magazine (June 2025) when used on one of their staff team members supercharged Morris Minor.

I could be wrong but isn't closed cell recommended so it doesn't hold water? This stuff is open cell

Good point and £80 seems a bit steep!

I fitted that felt backed bonnet insulation 5 years ago and after 3 it looked tatty and started sagging. I saw that dodo stuff and thought I’d give it a go. Removing that baked on industrial contact glue used to fit it was an absolute mare to get off 6 hours and 1.5 litres of acetone later I fitted the new Dodo stuff. Easy to fit and easily cut with a Stanley knife. Looks very tidy and quieter I’ll report back on what it’s like in a year or so!

 I've bought this one for the Clubman https://newtoncomm.c...894948a2b&_ss=c

 but haven't fitted the bonnet insulation just yet, only the bulkhead soundproofing which is probably the harder of the two to fit.

I would refer you to the previous post.

Could you supply some images of what it looks like in place?

Looks ok. 

 

I think the clubman bonnet is a bit easier to cover being flatter and less sections.
