A thick felt mat loosely attached to the bonnet as large as possible, absorbs a lot of top end rattle. Foam glued underneath bonnet is rubbish. Double shag pile carpet is what you want. And I found a good transmission tunnel cover and thick mats in the footwells grab a fair bit of noise too. You have the latter but it may get darker but I sound deadened the underside of my roof and some of the sides and put foam soundproofing on as well. I’ve painted it grey so it doesn’t look very obvious, but the condensation is dramatically reduced and the echo box has the edge taken off it. 200 tdi in mine, also not a quiet engine, and it’s quite reasonable at 50/55 volume wise.
