Hi Gang, I just wanted to share my latest purchase, an engine sound-proofing 'tidy' bar from Germany.

My sound proofing was in great shape compared to some I see but still it could be tidied. At around 60 Euros delivered this little plastic beauty is cheaper than its state-side competition by more than 1/2.

That said, it is still an expensive 'fix' for my OCD. Here are a bunch of before and after pics and a few showing the bar and the shape of it.

What do y'all think?

I was trying to improve the saggy soundproofing in my 3.2 Carrera bay on Sunday. I guess the mounting slots have stretched, giving the saggy look.

I don't really care, but my OCD most definitely does. It's a bit like Zingari with saggy luggage bay pockets. :wink:

Where did you get it?maybe they do one to fit mine, which doesn't have those round plastic buttons.
 
I guess if anyone was going to find and fit this 'tidy' it would be you, Joe! :wink:

Have to agree that the eye is always drawn to the sagging edge of the sound-proofing, and I like the idea of tidying it up. Not sure that my OCD is quite as acute as yours though - 60€ seems rather steep for 600mm of black plastic :eek: I doubt Santa/SWMBO would look kindly on the suggestion ...
 
Gentlemen, it is a monstrous price but face it, if Porsche made this it would be £150. LOL

Another version is available from the USA for around £150 delivered.

I got mine from [email protected]. they don't have a website but they are quick to respond. :)
 
I quite like that nice and neat looks like a factory part, something else to add to the list unless Chris makes me one of his for a xmas present :thumb:

I'll swap you for an anodised alternator strap Gaz (with you fitting it too!) :D

Cheers Mister. What is involved in sorting the fan? What do i need to do? What should i expect to pay? Help pls...
 
Joe, RPM will do an exchange. Around £100 I think and they usually have one ready. Worth giving them a call.
