I don't know why you'd want to double skin it, a bit of a waste me things. Nothing to stop you carpeting as is.

Yes, I have thought about double skinning my floor with thin aly sheet and filling the gap with Kingspan insulation to cut down on road debris noise.

You wont hear any road noise coming from the floor of the car!

Just the rush of wind in your face and the sound of the engine :)

Oh, and the screams of the passenger as you floor it through the bends :D
