I say bonnet rather than engine, because the Up’s engine doesn’t really need any sound proofing.
The bare-metal bonnet, however, sounds far too tinny for my tastes, and looks cheap.
I used Dynamat Xtreme as the base layer, and then cut out a 6mm thick piece of Dynaliner to fit the oval, using a simple paper template.
The bonnet now opens and closes with a satisfying thud, rather than a nasty clang.
