Personally I would say they only serve to hold mud in around the engine and will hinder cleaning but then I do venture into mud quite a lot :D

you should try lying your van on its side in the river, it cleans out all those hard to reach places :wink:

I was thinking more along the lines of sound reduction.

I am after the sound proofing too, i am surprised that new ones are available but £200 plus seems a bit steep, considering that the whole bash pan new is less than that. hmmm i think i will have to do a bit more research!?

yes you can make them yourself! good job:)

but what about the foam material inside? what did you used for that? I guess it is something special that provides sound proof and resistant to high temperatures?
