I fitted sound deadening pads round the boot this afternoon (Dodo from ebay).
The result is terrific - the road noise from behind me is almost completely eliminated.
The noise of the exhaust is very slightly reduced, but still sounds good inside the car.
This "mod" is going to make my long trips down to Devon much more pleasant!

Seems like a good idea. Any pictures .

Sorry - I didn't think to take photos.
Don't buy too much! I bought 12 sheets, but 8 would have done the job (about £10 worth).
No need to cover every square cm, but make sure gaps between the material are random. If you are super neat and make everything symmetrical you risk new resonances being formed.
Hit a panel with your knuckle. If it goes PinK! then it needs a pad - after fitting the pad it shout give a dull thud.

Thanks for the tips will wait until the weather gets a bit warmer before I do this project.

Inspired me to have a go at this now the weather has improved. Bought the Dodo sheets on eBay (delivered next day!) and I am impressed with the result. It will make long journeys more pleasant particularly with the hood up and yet I still have that Monza for all to hear!
