Mine could do with a spruce up. Any recommendations on where to source the materials and what is used to bond it?

Sure someone more knowledgeable than me will come along but i'll try to help in the interim smile

I got a big sheet of this stuff;

To do my heater box as that's what the majority of recommendations I got were.

That said, would be rather expensive to try do all the floor parts in that so not sure what alternatives there are for that? I know lots of people seem to use that gold look sheet?

Hi, when I did mine I bought this from Demon Tweeks - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shie... and some heat resistant glue from ebay, it exactly matches the original and can be ordered in sq.mt. sheets. Cheers, Steve

Great info Steve! I'm replacing the rear clam & diffuser heat shield material at the moment and was just looking through eBay to try to find an equivalent for the Noble stuff.
Just one question, do you remember what thickness sheeting you used?
I see it is available in 0.4, 0.7, or 1.6mm thicknesses.
Cheers,
David.

Ive just done this to mine & the underside of the intercooler box. Bought the material from Jetstream n a roll & used the same HTA contact adhesive as the above post. Works well & looks superb.

Hi David, I bought it 0.7 from memory, I'll check when I get home, I found the best results by turning the edges, using contact adhesive on the overlap and running it through the wife's sewing machine (made sure she was out...)to give a new edge before sticking the pieces on.
