Hey Guys
Was just offered one of these at an unrefusable price so snapped it up.
Standard car except headunit.
Seems a bit loud on the road though, anyone had any experience of soundproofing these little things?

It might just be exhaust noise (possibly baffles breaking internally in a box) which would cause a bit more noise.
Other causes (assuming its not mechanical bearing noise etc) tyre noise possibly, more likely if you have larger wheels I think.
I do not think they were soundproofed to excess anyway given their nature as a 'sport' model.
You could probably if you wanted to get some dynamat (or similar) and put it inside the doors / rear quarter panels / inside hatch-lid. Taking it further you could whip the seats out and carpet and put it under that...

I dont find Saxos especially noisey, however going from a C5 almost every car seems noisey!
Dynamatting might work, its worth a try. Behind the rear side panel cards, under the seats and boot floor, front doors, those will be the easiest places to add extra sound insulation.
