Something that might help is an undertray that I think some of the higher spec cars might have. The fitting holes are there on our 1.4 HDi but I've not yet bothered to track down a tray to fit.
#9: Re: Engine sound proofing Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 8:49 am ---- Have you got nothing under the bonnet? My HDi has a black sound proofing clipped to the underside of the bonnet.
But saying that my diesel is not too loud anyway....

I can supply the dampers for the covers and these ones don't break, have a look at my thread for details and all ask Rich he has a bought a set from me.
