I’m going to remove the seats in the back, and the fitted carpet, potentially the door cards and have AA turn the rear into a luggage area with tie-down points and a removable webbing bulkhead that fits behind the front seats.
Will this affect the soundproofing? As the rear seat help with soundproof, by removing them, will you be more expose to the engine noise?

I’m going to drop the car off at Auto Audio next week to have more work done.
The rear seats in these cars are pretty comical- but in the cabriolet they are really silly because the deploy-on-rollover hoops live behind the seat backs, and take up a lot of space.
I’m going to remove the seats in the back, and the fitted carpet, potentially the door cards and have AA turn the rear into a luggage area with tie-down points and a removable webbing bulkhead that fits behind the front seats. At the same time I’ll get them to replace (or re-dye) the carpets to a dark, navy blue as I think that will look much better than the OEM light blue.
This will mean trimming the bottom of the doors as well, as they match the floor.
I’d like the wheel trimmed in the same Porsche blue leather as the interior (Cup steering wheels are suede, which gets a bit sad when you don’t wear gloves).
And finally I might swap the door speakers for Morel units, replacing the butyl Hertz ones, as the Morels in the dash (silk) are really good. The stereo is excellent tbh, although I don’t like the head unit as it’s crap from a usability perspective, so there’s a chance I might go for the modern PCCM single DIN.
