Steve,
I got some from Neil at ML performance parts. It looks like the OEM stuff they (TVR) used on the Chimaera under bonnet area.

Think a square metre - which is more than enough, cost about £35 delivered.

Steve, speak to Neil.
As it is straight off a roll(?) you have to cut to shape and put an edge on it if you want.
Following Neil's advice, I used a mini stapler to "hem" the edges. I used hi-temp adhesive to stick to underside of bonnet and then used RTV silicone around the perimeter to tidy it up.

When I did my tunnel, engine bay and part floors (underneath) I used these people

http://www.thermalvelocity.co.uk,

Sorry not very good with IT so if the link doesn't work 0161 367 1372 is always easier. They make in the UK... yep that persuaded me. Really good stuff, the sticky one has been on 3 years and all I did was low mod silicone the edges to keep the water out, looks cool underneath as well. Tested to 160 MPH and it didn't peel off. Tunnel I used the crinkly aluminium and did the whole thing rather than part like TVR did. They do a tape that edges the sticky stuff, makes it look good and stops the fraying at the edges in the engine bay.

When I had the engine out in mine, I went over the normal stuff with an additional layer of Lava Mat, from this place : http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/automotive/heat-...

It's held up really well and is still stuck solid so I'm thinking of doing the whole under bonnet now. Looks nice as well. I'll see if I can dig out a pic!
