My mate fully lined his Vito out with that and it's made an incredible difference, waaaaaaaaaay cheaper than dyna mat too and almost the same effect.

Gonna do my Golf as I go along/next take bits off.

Noooo not roofing felt, flashing tape, totally different stuff. It's almost the same as Dynamat but for about a quarter of the cost. We've tried both branded Dynamat and standard flashing tape and there was no real difference between them in the end result. Flashing tape is heavier though.
