[Vwdiesel] Skid Plate Sound deadening?

Could glue some closed cell foam to it.  :-)  Undercoating might help some but will make a major mess if you ever get a diesel leak or much oil accumulation.

I ordered a Panzer Plate and the metal side skirts last night; hoping they may 
come in time to install this weekend along with the timing belt kit.  


Anyway, I was curious for those of you who have installed one of the metal skid 
plates, did it make any difference in diesel rattle noise?  I currently have 
just the plastic side skirts, no lower pan at all.

I was wondering if spraying some kind of rubber undercoating on the inside of 
the skid plate would help absorb some of the rattle reflections.

Since I sold my 4Runner, I decided to beef up the Golf a little bit because it 
might see a little crazier terrain.  I'm also looking into raising it to create 
an Off Road Adventure Golf.
