Ha Ha! Yes, it's rubbish, isn't it?
This is it!
Good evening, thank you for your contribution. You can see from the start of my post that I have already removed my dash, so that the greatest part of the job has been done. Studying the A2OC forum, there are enough positive comments regarding sound insulation. But I will try it anyway. It won't be so expensive. I could not understand your reply
Oh, this is a 100% correct translation!

Hi David,
after spending many years in a body shop repairing cars this material is the stuff we used when ever replacing pannels, even our A2's have tiny peices under the carpets hear n there, but no where near enough, prob due to the weight it may of added.. youl find all high end cars are covered in this type of material and a heavy spray on sealer type material totally covering the undersides , simular to our own A2s..
I can take some photos over the next week as my A2 is ready to rebuild, put back together as its stripped out at present, not carpets , dash ect, and been that way for a while now, yes you can hear the turbo playing it tunes quite happily and every bit of road noise as the carpets are heavily sound dampened on the undersides...
basically at the front where your feet would go , youv got the curved wheel inner arches, i plan on totally covering these areas as audi only place 1 measly peice plus covering the front floor area up to near the underfloor access pannels, the same at the rear , totally cover the wheel arches.
then theres the doors, you will need to remove the trim and pannel and then the glass surround frame to leave a bare door, then cut a template that fits about and 1in from the sides and cover the inside of the door skin, i would not advise adding any other sound deadening material insides the doors themselfs as water needs to pass through from the top glass seal to the drain holes in the bottoms of the doors..
then depending how far you want to go , you can cover the whole floor from the boot forward, and even the under floor storage , but there i was just planning to fill with some left over foam underlay from a laminate flooring as i can just scrunch it all up and fill up the spaces , then easily removed if need be ..
you could go even further by removing the stone guards and covering the outsides aswell but i think that would be OTT and doing what ive discribed already will make the car totally different and eliminate alot of the droning road noise..
there is also several big voids under the dash when its removed at the tops and lower down behind the glove box and fuse box,,, BUT BE WARNED !!!!! YOUL have to make sure what ever you put in these areas does not have any way to interfear with the stearing or brakes and is fixed securly..
Regards Gary

Wasn't this really helpful and useful information from Gary? It was just what I was trying to remember! He sure seems to know his stuff? Well, I certainly believe what he has said! What do you think, Tom?
