    lmao you bodger

    to do it will cost about 20 pound id say for material and spray glue

    things you need are a dremel or a drill to take the doorcard apart, and a soldering iron and some tie wraps to melt it back in place

    what does your interior look like as blue acoustic carpet is really easy to work with and stretches a lot

    one should be enough mate its 1.4 metres by 2 metres so you should be ok, but to be on the safe side id get 2 cos you can make mistakes plus its good if you want to cover other things
