VW Heritage - Under Bonnet Sound Proofing

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Just bought myself some of this sound proofing from Heritage (having missed the group buy a couple of years ago).

 

https://www.vwheritage.com/search/?act=search.searchResults&sType=quick&maxDisplayRows=15&searchText=Corrado+bonnet+sound+proofing&btnSearch=

 

Wondered if anyone has used it on their car on here, and to what degree of success?

 

I'm not very happy with the quality of it tbh. Looks nothing like the original stuff...

 

Visible side is black, dimpled vinyl, and underside looks like old-fashioned padding made using recycled, beige string. Can't see it suiting the Corrado at all. Would look more at home on a Triumph Herald!

 

I'm thinking of returning it and continuing to look around for a suitable alternative...

 

Thoughts welcome

 

Thanks,

Kev

I think a couple of people here have bought the same and been unhappy with the product. One of the guys on here has found a good quality replacement and there's a group buy has been organised. All the sets are spoken for but you could maybe buy straight from supplier. Group buy is here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=90359

FYI You're welcome to buy direct, but he's run out of material with our group buy.

 

He may do another run but he's wanting 20 MOQ. Feel free to chat with him and keep an eye out for second group buy which I may or may not run! lol

Cheers guys! Well the heritage stuff has gone back. Good riddance!

 

Thanks for the eBay contact delfinis38! Hopefully I'll either be able to get some direct or if there's a second group buy I'll get on that...

alternatively, I've used this stuff recently to improve the underbonnet insulation on a diesel, it doesn't have the small square cutout surface of the OEM foam but it is good quality, fireproof foam with an excellent adhesive backing

25mm thick 1m x 1m is £38 delivered (equivalent to about 50 Euros if you compare to the 80 Euros for the ready cut kit from the Group Buy)

you'd need to cut to size for each bonnet section
