Rear wheel boxes and hard top sides. After that, I'd remove the heading and do the roof. Does yours have a headlining in the rear? If not, then adding one is a worthwhile exercise, too.
Something like this (pictures taken of the rear of my 110USW and my old 90 roof):  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Apart from the instant improvements, they're also the easiest to do, being largely square flat panels. There will also be improvements to be made from doing the seat box, floor and doors but these are more difficult and time consuming due to the shapes and the need to strip out things like the seats and trim.

Concur. Start with the back and move your way forward. I dynamatted the entire interior of my 2014 D90 SW and the most noticeable improvement was when I did the rear. The front was a marked improvement too, but if I had to start with one I'd do the rear first.

interested in people’s thoughts as I am thinking the same. Did my last one in one go and not again. Problem I have slightly is I want to keep the inside looking stock so bare wheelarches etc.
Been looking at these eBay eBay Item No. 371565861360 as can do a section at a time |

Lucky for me when i did the foot wells i did not stick the sound proofing onto the floor but just put it under the rubber mats as when water has come in from having rubbish aftermarket door seals i could just take them out and thoroughly dry the bare floor with a towel. Cannot wait for the new LR original seals to arrive and then fit

The pre-cut kits are a very expensive way to do it, particularly when cutting regular sheets is so easy to do. Also, SilentCoat is slightly cheaper than Dynamat and they both do the same thing.

I do agree however good way to spread the cost as a bulk pack of dynamat is quite expensive.

You can buy a 30 sheet pack of Silent Coat for £34, which is more than enough for the footwells.

The silent treatment!

Anyone else remember seeing people drive Lightweights wearing ear defenders. Guess you cant get easier and cheaper than that....

Click image to enlarge Just finished the Silent Coat. Went for 4mm. Now overlaying with 5mm closed cell water proof foam. The silent coat is real easy to cut. I templates a few bits with card first. Don’t recommend pre cut stuff as tends to be a poor fit. |

Had the same thought but the wheel arches are really noisy. |
