Have today fitted two layers of this stuff under rear seats, boot and so far one layer under rear trim panels.
Looking to do under carpets next and wonder how big a job it is? Any tips on removal and fit would be appreciated.
After reading other posts on this subject I will use specific material in door cards. Again recommendations please. Sound Man?
BTW-is that me a hundred already?

Congrats on the 100.
To get the carpet out, I'd always suggest stripping the seats out otherwise you're in for a hell of a game that will end up with you streching carpet.
Take the trim off that go around the bottom of the door holes. Remove the hard plastic "running board" things, then carefully pull the carpet out - do this by looking for white plastic bits and prizing them out - don't remove the staples!
I would think twice about using underlay under the carpet in places likely to get wet. Like Steve says, it's horrible when it gets wet, and if it's under carpet it will rot and smell. You can tell that this is experience talking, can't you? (It was a fiesta with a leak...)
